Multi Screen Media (MSM), the network that operates 11 SD and three HD channels, has renewed its carriage deal with direct-to-home (DTH) operator Dish TV.
The two parties have signed a two-year fixed-fee deal, according to a source close to the development.
Earlier, MSM’s former distribution joint venture (JV) partner Discovery Communications had signed a carriage deal with Dish TV.
It may be recalled that MSM and Discovery had ended their more-than-12-year JV after the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) had limited the scope of content aggregators by disallowing bundling of channels from more than one broadcaster.
While the commercial details of the deal are not known, Dish TV MD Jawahar Goel told TelevisionPost.com that the content cost guidance for FY15 is a single-digit increase year-on-year. Goel also said that the company is doing a mix of cost-per-subscriber (CPS) and fixed-fee deals.
