Freedish had plans to add 24 new channel 30th auction (15sep)

[Thakur]

The country's only free-to-air direct-to-home platform Freedish has slated its 30th auction for 15 September, which also coincides with the day Doordarshan first started beaming in 1959.

A DD announcement stated the auction is for ‘vacant DTH slot’ indicating only one slot, but went on to say that the reserve price per slot is Rs 4.3 crore, thus indicating there may be more. The slots have fallen vacant as the license period of one or more of the 80 TV channels on the platform have expired.

Freedish had plans to add 24 new channels, increasing the number from 80 to 104 by September 2016.
