Breaking DD channel blocked

[M.J.Sadiq]

They have done it before. Once there was a time when DD had different feed for dd direct plus and all others while match was going on on terrestrial transmission.
Later in court, it was cleared that the same feed should go for all. Now SC has reversed that.

Even I experienced it a decade ago when "Kanbom Karpom" was running in DD Terrestrial with channel name as "DD Tamil Nadu" while "DD Podhigai" was showing different program on Cable TV. Also, during morning, some religious program dubbed from Hindi to Tamil will be shown only in Terrestrial with name "DD Tamil Nadu".

If they can relay different feed in Terrestrial all across Tamil Nadu they can do it for Nation wide as well in relay mode.

Yup its true that the channels can only be available as a la carte price if the price is more than Rs. 19 but if the channel is not included in basepack how will they get maximum TRP?? Its the TRP which gives maximum profit in terms of revenue from ads and reach towards the bigger set of audience. So it doesnt make sense to have the channel only in la carte section. Also if they telecast 1st match in ss1 and 2nd match in ss2 for India matches then its so silly. May be it might work for IPL matches since there are instances of 2 back to back matches played in a single day. What ever it is they wouldnt allow the TRAI regulations come to effect specially after spending that much money for IPL rights. Its huge. They might even face loss even if they increase the channel price to Rs. 75 or even Rs. 100 for that matter. It will all depend on Advertisement revenue. So they will surely wanted the channela to be included in as many packages as possible.

If you have monopoly in cricket then customers don't hv other choice and it's true for advertisers also . TRP will come anyway as cricket is a religion. Star will not run in loss . Even Sony valuation for IPL right just for India was 11000 crore star got global TV+digital right only paying 5000 crore more. 5000 crore for whole world that too for all digital +TV is not a bad deal

This time they didn't stop the normal lcn.But they can easily show in other lcn.Its very difficult to track each and every one of cable operaters.
