MUMBAI: A month after the ministry
of information and broadcasting
(MIB) came out with its mandate
that 24 Doordarshan channels have
to be carried on all DTH platforms;
the ministry has cracked the whip
on three DTH players in the country
for not obeying the notification.
Showcause notices have reportedly
been sent to Reliance Digital TV,
Sun Direct and Tata Sky as to why
action shouldn’t be taken against
them for not complying with this
requirement.
Now, one of the big players is all
set to give a fitting reply to the
ministry - Tata Sky, which has
unsuccessfully been chasing the
MIB for transponders on ISRO’s
GSAT-10 satellite. “Our licence with
Doordarshan was to carry eight
channels but we were carrying 15
since our customers wanted them.
We have been running pillar to
post to get capacity but no one has
been helping us,” says and agitated
Tata Sky CEO Harit Nagpal.
