Tv channel is not running in loss, If it is then how they can start so many channels in their loss. They are getting ads by us only. Then, why there are collecting so much money from us. People should be aware in this. Then only they will stop looting from us.

Trai should have put bouquet offer cap of 20% or even scrap bouquet sheme instead of new 33.33% cap.

Look if Trai remove the bouquet system then broadcasters are again going to increase the price of every channels.. because Less Viewers= Less Ad Revenue.. Yes they have right to do business. But you can't limit or control their profit margin or looting wherever you say. A good media journalist can explain how money they invest in broadcasting section. Film Producer, even Indian Cricket earns money from it. They also have to pay money to MSO, DPO, LCO, Carriage Fees which is now 4 Lakh per month. Everybody in these sectors are greedy... That's why everyone wants to become and Actor or something like that, because of Money.

Here comes first response from broadcasters, they said that new amendment is arbitrary and will severely impair their ability to compete with other unregulated platforms and adversely affect the viability of the pay-TV industry.

They also said that this tariff order will force a lot of channels to shut down and will lead to unemployment in the sector.

They are sad with this amendment and will strategize its future course of action, including evaluating legal options.

They are jealous against DPOs having high NCF

Channels should have both advt version and non-advt.

That's what i am talking about. TRAI's NTO rules are completely bogus.. Channel selection option should not be there just like before. Everything was fine before 2019.. We don't choose this method on OTT app like Hotstar.. still they are cheaper than current cable TV rules.

Now Advantage DPO over Broadcaster after this selection. Income fixed for DPO, but not in the case of broadcaster. Eg. If no live cricket match on this day, then no revenue for Star Sports.

But still they have to pay money for broadcasting rights of IPL and other ICC tournament to BCCI..

I'm happy with the new changes. What made me little sad is the base price (NCF). I wished a lower NCF of ~₹100 for ~50 channels but TRAI put the same ₹130+GST for increased number of channels(200). The new move would help customers but not everyone like the one who watches less channels.

Same blood

No broadcaster doing social work here. Every broadcaster trying to loot money with the support of TRAI. No broadcaster running their business for loss.
