I&B ministry withdraws permission to Zee for uplinking in Ku-Band

NEW DELHI: The ministry of information and broadcasting (I&B) on Friday withdrew the permission given to Zee Media Corporation Ltd (ZMCL) for uplinking of 10 television channels in the Ku-Band, a frequency used on GSAT-15 Satellite used for satellite television broadcasting. Because of the uplinking facility in the Ku-Bank, all 10 channels were accessible on Doordarshan (DD) Free Dish, which was a competitive advantage to ZMCL over other private broadcasters.
