News ‘We are in talks with other DTH ops and MSOs to join our JV’

[Music Fan]

Siti Cable and dishtv formed a Joint Venture to deal with broadcasters..

Since Broadcasters purposely bullying cable network by charging more money.

dishtv also had a problem in signing content cost.

Ok
Then can we expect missing channels in Dishtv which are present in Siti cable?

Good
I have to check Siti cable channel list
BTW, What is Dishtv's benefit in agreement?

 

[IndianMascot]

And this move seems that comnet is gearing up for the bully against broadcasters. But here the conflict of interests would arise as both TS and dish parent companies got broadcasting arms.

That the only intention why comnet is formed. Let's see how it goes.

Very good initiative which would be beneficial for cable ops....but lets see how they will handle charge-per-subscriber concept for carriage driven cable biz.....

 

[IndianMascot]

If any other DTH joined the JV, broadcasters would have a bitter taste.

 

[Technoglitch]

Broadcasters would decide and form a JV and would black out the signal for few days to this JV.

 

[IndianMascot]

Then they will be in huge loss as their viewership too will be effected.

 

[DashMajor]

Yeah let Broadcasters do like this arrogant STAR kicking back from their own RIO model if have a dare then why not launching SMS HD as premium channel.

 

[DashMajor]

Last year every broadcaster bent in front of dishtv tats itself showed how much pressure these Broadcasters having just to launch their channel.
