Sad News 11 JioStar Channels going to Shutdown w.e.f 15th March 2025

Google would take to social media right? How much of a social media view matters? Free Data (virtually with unlimited 5G), so social media has to have opinion on everything, more importantly negative opinion on everything (negativity sells right)

Not about just pricing, but Paramount exited for itself, so their owned IP ought to go with them, even if the channel is top rated in all markets, doesn't matter.
Already JioStar has opted to keep MTV and NICK brand (don't know for how long

MTV has only 2 things now, Splitsvilla and Rodies, and at JioHotstar, same management is trying to make replacement of these.

MTV is overpriced, and I think has less or equal à la carte subscribers at Tata Play than whatever VH1 has at Tata Play.
(VH1 HD was only available at Tata Play, so can't take any other DTH account in this).

It is dying like Star World.

Then from where else the opinions shall be counted?
Even if they are negative, after all they are opinions right?

This is where I fail to understand... Even if the brand exited from the market, they left behind a channel with good reputation...Instead of abruptly closing it, why could it not be run, and would not it have been beneficial for the venture itself?
I mean they are not wasting the transponder bandwidth after all, they replaced the vacancies with some channels, but these channels won't seem to provide as much in return as the defunct channels would do?

Agreed but partially
The vacancies left by brand owned channels aren't replaced rightaway, the slots remain blank

Star Sports new channels are actually rebranding Sports18 and remainder two are taking Star Life slots.

It will be a good thing because library will definitely moved to someone else.
Sony and & brands will take care of it. Properly.
HBO end didn't changed anything. (Personal opinion).

It's Tata Play who has stopped the transmission of these channels on their transponders. Otherwise, all channels are still available.
