Logic is simple, if food food added then why user pay for ACTVE COOkING. Another reason is food food want carry their channels on tata sky so they pay huge amount to tata sky towards carriage fee hence channel decide more price [also channel official knows that tata sky market is urban/semi urban so they can afford this price, if user want]

new or old channels most times have to pay carriage to get on a cable or dth platform if they r not popular and people r not demanding it but the ch wants to b on a platform whereas if a channel is popular no carrige fee needs to b pais by the channel as such chs r added by ops themselves. like for example colors paid carriage fee to operators in 2008 when it launched as it was a new channel and wanted to b part of dth or cable platforms but as it became popular and it cannot b removed from any platform as its a popular channel so after 1 year or whatever contract it had, colors does not need to pay c arriage fee.
in d2h , mtunes was added on customer deamdn so no carriage fee was paid by mtunes as d2h added it acc to their will
many people here make childish comments without knowing facts
u have wrong conception abt carriage fee
dd direct plus adds channels only on basis of carriage as that is their only revenue so every ch on dd direct plus b it fta or paid will only b added once u win auction. that does not apply to any other cable or dth op

Whatever may be the facts but one thing I am confirmed is Food Food is paying carriage fee to all operators.
And yes it varies from operator to operator. Tata Sky is known for charging higher carriage fee.

no, now food food is paying no carriage fee to any operator. it only paid airtel carriage fee to coem on airtel when it launched after that food food became popular and d2h and tata sky have approached food food to relay their channel as customers r demanding it.

You gt wrong information bro. They have paid carriage fee to all operators.
I have my friends working in this channel el distribution and they have confirmed this. Still if you want to go ahead with your own logic then I have nothing to say.

i go by logic which is based on how these things work. when a channel is popular and customers of a cable or dth provider demand it then a operator approaches the channels and the channel is added after negotiating in which package it will b added and its price which operator will pay to the channel. carriage fee is only pais when channel approached operator not vice versa

The channel has merely complete 1 year and it's not so popular that operators will pay for it. Even aaj tak is so popular but it still pay carriage fee.
