Attempt to increase reach of Sony BBC Earth, Sony Yay and Pix HD , if it fails then these chs might also shutdown. Also could b effort to scale up subscription revenue.

Ideally they should adopt nto 2.0, rework on bouquet classification / pricing, improve content on hindi movie/eng movie chs and immediately bring back Sony Mix

Sony wants to increase its revenue and push Sports mandatory in its bouquet hence they are stopping their Rs 31 bouquet, which is a mainstay for Hindi/ Bengali/ Marathi speaking subscribers like us.

These are Jan'20 revised bouquets by Big4 which are yet to be made operational by DTH and Cable companies... Sony and ICAST have used different tactics to push their revenue i.e. by killing small entry level bouquets which will push customer to opt for higher priced bouquets.

If NTO 2.0 becomes a reality these Broadcasters will then know what power a consumer has... when they start opting for ala-carte channels thereby ending the era of PUSH channels. Amen !!
