 | | Earlier, talks between Prasar Bharati and ARY Digital, worldwide radio rights holders for Pakistan cricket, had broken down on the issue of payment terms. |
 | | While ARY Digital had demanded$ 250,000 (later revised to $ 200,000), AIR was initially willing to cough up only $ 80,000, double of what it paid for the radio rights for the 2004 Indo-Pakistan series. |
 | | It seems that a consensus was reached with AIR upping the fee further under public pressure and ARY Digital reciprocating the gesture by agreeing on a lower figure. |
