Television broadcasters in India are at loggerheads with the department of space as the latter is allegedly denying all permissions — be it for launch of a new channel or change in logo — to channels that are not operating on Indian satellites.
Over the last three months, all broadcasters who have applied for either new channels or changes in the name of existing channels have been denied permissions by department of space (DoS) with an explicit directive to move to Indian satellites.
Apparently, DoS wants all the channels to shift their operations to Indian satellites operated by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) from existing foreign satellites like Intelsat, Asiasat, Measat, Apstar and others. Currently 80% of all Indian broadcasters are operating on foreign satellites. Out of 724 active channels, only 156 are on Indian satellites.
