The Ministry is likely to have granted many name change approvals and new TV licenses during December 2019 with Disney Channel HD, Star Sports 3 HD, Star Movies Select among others getting ready to launch soon. It, however, hasn’t updated its database with the latest database which continues to remain outdated.
