The new logo has the map of the world fitted inside the ‘o’. Speaking on the change, Focus Group CEO Neeraj Sanan says, “Red and white are the colours of news channels. We wanted a unique dimension with an interesting shade.”

While the regional channels have been fully distributed, the national channel is currently available only on Videocon d2h, Tata Sky and from 1 November on DD Freedish. The group is awaiting its last leg of clearance from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting for its satellite transfer request.

No doubt it will be available automatically hence Jindal bought the slot of DD Free Dish but after Rishtey, Focus News will be the next channel for dishtv to play as they will keep throwing it in the 4 Digit LCN

If the channel object then dishtv can encrypt. Since these channels are called as FTA channels dishtv won't encrypt because if people ask for those channel then the matter can gets complicated so sure thing is Focus News will be available but on the 4 Digit LCN.
