Da Vinci Media, the equal joint venture between Raghav Bahl’s Quintillion Media and German media firm Da Vinci Media, has decided to shut down its kids learning channel Da Vinci Learning HD.
The HD channel, which is priced at Rs 25 on a la carte, has shut down on 30 April. Following a targeted distribution approach, the channel is available only on direct-to-home (DTH) platform Tata Sky and multi-system operator (MSO) Hathway Cable & Datacom.
In March, Bahl had told that he would take a call on the JV in few months. It is not clear whether Da Vinci will remain invested in the Indian market or exit completely. Bahl also has his hands full with digital venture The Quint and his business news venture Bloomberg Quint.
The company had launched a subscription-based over-the-top (OTT) service in July last year with the promise of offering kids safe content.
