Know the reason for no new channels

[Dish]

Well everyone here asking why no new channel. Now we get the idea why no new channels.

Read this:

Quote:Prasar Bharati hiked the carriage fee from Rs 2.5 million (25 Lakh) to Rs 6 million ( 60 Lakh ) per annum to carry the channel on its DTH platform.

This might be a big problem now as price is hiked 35 Lakh Rs/Year.

60 lakhs is not a Too Big Rate.

[Dish]

Yes but even brodcaster not ready to pay 25 lakh Rs in past then how can they pay 60 Lakh Rs.

now it will be pretty tough for prasarbharathi...because new competitors like big tv dth are in the market

[Dish]

Yes you are right!
At the moment BIG TV not charging any fees right now.

It'a very huge amout for newly channels,if ddd+ not reduce their carriage fee then one day except dd channels there is no channels in ddd+.

[Dish]

Yes and if DD wouldn't reduce it then DD viewers will only watch these channels and also miss some channels once their contract will over!

[alpeshpatelk]

There are many channels like 9xm,music india,total tv,star utsav are controact over very soon i think these november.

[Dish]

Yes you are right and within next 5 months some channels might be moved from DD Direct+.
