well CCI classifies FTA channel as channels present in DDFD (government backed free service, doesn't matter if its paid in private ).
they will sacrifice low income channels to FTA instead of sale/shutdown .

Remember its only the CCI that sees both premium and FTA as different.
In india broadcasters still advertise on Premium channel so they will club both sector to present as their overall share to advertising agency.

no bro, they have submitted full documents. but only received these info.
Nat Geo is done. they will close it completely.

even I'm waiting for crucial markets like kannada and marathi.
also heard the combined share is very high , unbelievably high . not even close to 40% bench mark .
There are markets where they are 60-75 % . and some markets where they are 90%+ . dont know which are these markets.
zee isnt strong in HSM , sony has good market, so slightly hindi is getting saved.

colors marathi wont shutdown . when regional market are considered they take whole market to study and don't differentiate if its movie or GEC

@Vadirocks bro might have background info. bro can you check from your side
