Power TV Kannada and E-Digital settle dispute

Power Smart Media backed Free to Air (FTA) Kannada News channel Power TV Kannada and Karnataka based MSO E-Digital have settled their issues through negotiations leading to the disposal of the petition in TDSAT.

The tribunal was last week informed of the settlement of dispute through negotiations. TDSAT expressed its satisfaction on the matter being resolved through negotiations.

The issue had risen last month when E-Digital issued Power TV a disconnection notice post which Power TV moved TDSAT. The tribunal was told that that parties were seriously engaged in finalizing a mutually acceptable agreement for the placement of the channel and retention of its existing LCN as well.

Both the parties held talks at large over a month following which they have arrived at a settlement. The finer details of the settlement remain unknown with the dispute settled amicably without TDSAT having to intervene.
