MUMBAI: IndiaCast Media Distribution and Disney UTV have decided to end their joint venture even as the deadline to comply with the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s (TRAI) content aggregator regulation approaches.

IndiaCast UTV was a 74:26 JV with IndiaCast as the majority partner. The structure of Indiacast Media, a joint venture (JV) between TV18 and Viacom18, will stand. TV18 Broadcast holds 50 per cent stake in Viacom18, the company which operates channels such as Colors, MTV, Nick and Vh1.

“We will be dissolving our step-down JV with Disney UTV. But we will be the agent for distributing the Disney UTV channels,” IndiaCast Media Distribution Group CEO Anuj Gandhi told TelevisionPost.com.

I think JV is over but I know it will takes some times may be 4 to 6 months which I already expected, but this change is bound to happen because ZEE carries a good relationship between Disney UTV, they're the frequent buyer of their production movies, Games Active of dishtv is powered by Disney UTV and Disney UTV knows that ZEE Music Company will help to gain some revenues from selling music also UTV STARS is going to revamp at Sept. so who will treat this channel better then anyone because dishtv is the first one to launch UTV STARS HD so all this speculation works and they just end this JV.
