The channels were originally formed in the early 1990s as a joint venture between Star TV and Tele-Communications Inc. (TCI) known as Prime Sports, taking their name from TCI's U.S. regional sports networks of the same name, eventually agreeing to combine their operations in Asia in October 1996 with those of ESPN, forming ESPN Star Sports. In June 2012, News Corporation took the full control of the venture in 2012, as Star India took over ESPN Star Sports' businesses in India in 2013, its corporate successor 21st Century Fox was, in turn, acquired by ESPN's majority-owner The Walt Disney Company in 2019.
