The ministry of information and broadcasting recently informed the Parliament details of private satellite TV channels and teleports operational in the country as last amended on 5 December 2011. It has also intimated the House about pay channels as on 30 September 2016.
Questions were raised in the Lok Sabha about details of the channels and teleports functioning in the country; details of the free to air channels and teleports at present; whether the government has completely abolished the process of obtaining an Annual Renewal for TV channels in the current forms; and it were so, the details thereof, along with the aims and objective thereto; and the number of channels and teleports likely to be benefit from the said decision, according to information available on the Lok Sabha web site.
The ministry of information and broadcasting has granted permission to uplink and downlink 892 private satellite TV channels and 81 teleports in accordance with the Policy Guidelines to uplink and downlink of TV channels as last amended on 5 December 2011. The list of permitted private satellite TV channels is available in this ministry’s website i.e. www.mib.nic.in . and the list of permitted teleports as on date is enclosed.
No information regarding Free to Air teleport is available. However, as intimated by TRAI, there are 281 pay channels as on 30 September 2016. A list of such pay channels is available on TRAI’s website under the link: www.trai.gov.in/WriteReadData/List-of-pay chanel-03.03.2015.pdf .
The channels which are not mentioned in the list may be considered as Free to Air (FTA) channels.
In conformity with the Policy Guidelines for uplinking and downlinking of TV channels in India, the government has decided that the broadcasters which hold valid permission for uplinking and/or downlinking, they would not require to obtain renewal permission from the ministry. The payment of annual permission fee 60 days before the due date will by itself be sufficient permission for continuation of a channel for a further period of one year from the due date. All the TV channels and teleports are likely to benefit from this decision provided the validity of 10-year permission is available.
