Doordarshan Freedish to hold 19th online e-auction to fill four slots
In a pace that has surprised many, Doordarshan is set to hold the 19th e-auction for Freedish on 12 December in an attempt to touch the target of 112 television channels in the next few months.
Doordarshan has set a reserve price of Rs 3.7 crore per slot for the 19th online e-auction, though indiantelevision.com learnt that the bid amount went up to Rs 4.2 crore in the 17th e-auction held on 12 November.This came shortly after the 16th e-auction on 28 October.
DD sources also said the 19th auction is to fill four slots. Earlier, Prasar Bharati officials had decided not to disclose the number of slots to be e-auctioned to prevent bidders forming consortia to bid or resort to other malpractices.
Prasar Bharati CEO Jawhar Sircar had said recently that the future of Doordarshan was in Freedish and digitisation. He had added that this may mean that some channels would have to be attracted to Freedish by means other than e-auction.
DD Sources also said that while Freedish may be encrypted to keep a tab on the number of subscribers, it would remain free-to-air.
The e-auction will be conducted by Synise Technologies, Pune on behalf of Prasar Bharati.
