what is problem with abc ?

 

[Prashant Shridhar]

ABC TV reception issue in india. should be problem.

 

[Roshbin]

why alla are more exicted about abc chanel..i think it is also poor channel like france 24..

 

[Prashant Shridhar]

Some strange facts about freedish recently e-auction result-
1-first they selected upasna tv who not started test transmission on satellite mode,avalible only on internet webcast.
2-abc tv still waiting for clearence from I$B ministery but its selected..
3-then without any e-auction process RISHTEY channel selected...

 

[Karthik]

Still how many channels can be added ?

 

[NinadG]

Upasana tv must have got licence so they could have entered auction, allowing ABC tv is like a threat to India so it may reqiire clearence from I&B min which may be consulting home/foreign ministries, Rishtey which is under Network 18 group must have used backdoor route without auction process.

 

[Prashant Shridhar]

@karthik,
Only one slot left...

 

[AsitPaul]

ABC already signed a deal long ago. Just formal green signal from govt agency needed. Many foreign channels running in India on cable/Dth and also on FreeDish.

Foreign Friendly Govt channels can be added by paying only Rs 1cr/yr whereas private channels need to pay 3cr to 5cr/yr.
