which did not grant any TV channel licence in October, has
issued three non-news licences in November.

The ministry has also cancelled one licence, that of of Navda Creations. It has restored five TV licences of Mahuaa Media and four of STV Enterprises.

Sony Pictures Networks India (SPNI) has received downlinking licence for Sony Pix 2. The other two recipient of licences are Yelamanchili TV for Yone TV and Sri Venkateswara Bhakti Channel for SVBC 2.

Yone TV, which is the first complete Telugu web TV channel,
has expanded to cable TV. It will now launch as a satellite
channel.
