Dish TV, Tata Sky to have Sun channels

NEW DELHI: Dish TV has an agreement with Sun TV Ltd to offer these southern language channels to its direct-to-home (DTH) subscribers, but only when Kalanithi Maran is ready with his own DTH platform.

 

Tata Sky has already reached a settlement with Sun TV Ltd for taking all the channels on a bundled basis. Company officials were not willing to spell out the financial details of the deal or when Tata Sky would start beaming the Sun channels.

So for the two existing DTH players, the plate on offer for the southern viewers would be full. They were earlier handicapped with Sun blocking off its channels.

 
During the case in the Telecom Disputes Settlement Appellate Tribunal (Tdsat), Tata Sky had stressed that by being denied the Sun channels, it was losing out huge business from the southern market.
