RM Rujumargam TV was a Telugu Urdu devotional channel that has now been rebranded into Mercy TV. The license name change is likely to have been granted in the last fortnight. Mercy TV is currently available on JioTV.

The license was initially granted by the Ministry in 2011 under the name of Katha TV. It was later renamed to MU Odia before the subsequent two more name changes. The Ministry’s database continues to remain un-updated with all the other changes that might have taken over the last 2 months. The database was last updated in January 2020 with the cancellation of the license of HBC News.
