Sony Pal, Colors Rishtey pull out of DD free dish after winning slots

Sony Pictures Networks India and Viacom18 have decided not to place their Hindi general entertainment channels (GECs) Sony Pal and Colors Rishtey on DD Free Dish despite winning slots in an e-auction that was conducted in November.

“Sony Pal and Colors Rishtey have not been added to DD Free Dish as both channels have backed out despite winning slots in a recent e-auction,” said an industry executive on conditions of anonymity.
