Comedy Central is back on air.

[NinadG]

Entertainment channel Comedy Central will have to go off air from 12.01 am on 26 November for six days after the Delhi high court upheld a ban imposed on it for broadcasting offensive content.

Finding Viacom 18 had “abused the faith reposed in it under the self-regulatory regime” in the broadcasting industry, a bench of chief justice G. Rohini and Rajiv Sahai Endlaw upheld the 10-day ban on Viacom 18’s Comedy Central channel in May last year. Viacom had approached the high court before the ban came into force but a single judge decided that the ban was rightly imposed.

For which content has this ban been imposed?

 

[IndianMascot]

Oh no. that 6 month old matter has rise again and this time channel facing a ban.

I think because of some show called Popcorn...The news report states....

MIB had imposed the ban for telecast of two shows in the months of May and July 2012. The first was Stand up Club which according to the government “was not suitable for unrestricted public exhibition and children as the same depicted women as a commodity of sex and appeared to deprave, corrupt and injure the public morality and morals”

So it seems its atleast 2 year old case...
