During the launch former MD of ESPN Star and former CEO of Dish TV RC Venkateish had joined the channel to work as content provider (acquisition) for the channel.[4] Since then Venkateish (owner of Lex Sportel) acquired sporting rights of multiple events which were broadcast on DSport, until November 2019.[citation needed] In January 2020 Discovery applied a name change of their sports channel to Eurosport, which was challenged by Lex Sportel as the one who made the uplinking license deal of the channel.[5] Delhi High Court went in favor of Discovery and as a result Lex Sportel went out of the deal.
