Noting that linear TV still remains the heartbeat of Indian entertainment, Former Union I&B Minister @ianuragthakur called for deregulating India’s TV sector.

Could easing regulations be the catalyst to revive Cable TV and strengthen its role in the digital era?

MIB's DTH license fee reduction will be a death warrant for India's cable TV sector!

We earnestly urge the Hon'ble Ministry (@MIB_India) to uphold a balanced, competitive, and inclusive broadcasting ecosystem, and ensure that no segment of the distribution sector is unfairly disadvantaged.

📢 AIDCF has submitted a formal representation to the Hon’ble @MIB_India, strongly opposing @TRAI's recommendation to reduce, and eventually waive, the license fee for DTH operators.
