Some off-air channels back on cable TV in Kolkata after five days

Some of the channels of three broadcasters were back on TV screens of cable television subscribers on Thursday, five days after they were taken off the air.

The channels were taken off air on Saturday by Sony, Disney Star and Zee after a section of multi-service operators refused to implement a revised tariff structure notified by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India.

“A couple of Bengali movie channels came back around 8.30pm,” said a Lake Town resident.
