New Delhi: In a bid to steer clear of any controversy, the Doordarshan has decided to keep away from religious and devotional channels. For quite some time spiritual channels, including that of Baba Ramdev, have been seeking slots in the auctioning of DD Free Dish channel buckets.
Speaking to this newspaper, Chief Executive Officer Prasar Bharati Shashi Shekhar Vempati said, “We have taken note of several petitions received. I would like to highlight that the eAuction process has not been fully completed yet. The eAuction for MPEG4 slots will be notified for the first time in a couple of days. The reserve price for these at a low invitational amount of merely 5 lakhs. We request all those channels that could not bid for MPEG2 slots to consider bidding for MPEG4 slots.”
