Ten Sports is quite popular here. Good move Sony. Plus their Sony channel is also popular in South Asia.

Sony are making those moves coming up to the 7th. Something BIG is a-comin'. PSVue is going to expand outside of the US ...

You do realize that this goes under Sony's pictures division, not Playstation? Sony owns several broadcasting companies and India is one of their key markets. This has nothing to do with PSVue, just like Sony buying the remaining 50% share in Sony/ATV had nothing to do with Playstation Music.

Why do I get the feeling that this will be expanded into eSports?

No idea since this is an Indian TV channel - India is a country where eSports in non-existent.

And why is this in gaming? Doesn't VGC have seperate sports/movie sections?

I guess it falls under sony discussion as well, but not gaming related.

Doesn't TenSport cover the parts of the middle east (UAE, Kuwait) as well and Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Napal? (Ya none of those would care as well)

(It says in the original article as well).
