New Broadcasting Tariff Regime

When Trai announced its intention in December 2018 to implement the new broadcasting tariff regime effective from February 2019, we did a cover story stating that the new regime would be misused by the broadcasters and that they would raise the TV viewing cost for the consumers.

Our January 2019 issue cover story was titled, “New Broadcasting Regime: Come Feb 1, 2019, your channel prices will go up by 50 per cent despite Trai chief’s assertion that it will lower price for TV viewers.”
