TCCL implements ATEME’s Titan Live solution for its cable TV platform
Mumbai: ATEME on Tuesday announced that Thamizhaga Cable TV Communication Pvt Ltd (TCCL), one of the largest cable distribution companies in India, has chosen to implement its TITAN Live solution for their cable TV platform.
The Tamil Nadu-based multi-system operator has recently upgraded its headend platform to complement its existing cable service offering. ATEME’s TITAN Live is being used to deliver a high-quality cable-TV offering to TCCL customers. “TITAN Live enables TCCL to improve its subscribers’ viewing experience while reducing operational costs by providing exceptional video quality at low bitrates. Its full software approach also attempts to simplify deployments and operations, and profile reconfigurations, automatic switchovers, and fast updates also become much easier,” said the company in a statement.
Speaking on the collaboration with ATEME, TCCL managing director Sakilan said, “We have always had a strong emphasis on quality of service and content. ATEME’s TITAN Live met our need for the best quality of image coupled with the most efficient bandwidth saving – better than any other vendor. We are very pleased with our choice – both in terms of the product and the unparalleled support we received from the ATEME team, which understands our priorities and our need to provide content of the best quality to our current and future audiences.”
ATEME’s vice president, APAC – sales, Gautier Vandomme said, “We are very excited to be on this journey with TCCL. Viewers in India have such a rich variety of content to choose from; it is a great satisfaction to be helping them view this content at the best quality.”
MUMBAI: When margins wobble, liquidity talks and in Q3 FY25-26, cash did most of the talking. Den Networks Limited closed the December quarter with consolidated revenue of Rs.251 crore, marginally higher than the previous quarter but down 4 per cent year-on-year, even as profitability stayed resilient on the back of strong cash reserves and disciplined cost control.
Subscription income softened to Rs.98 crore, slipping 3 per cent sequentially and 14 per cent from last year, while placement and marketing income offered some cheer, rising 15 per cent quarter-on-quarter to Rs.148 crore. Total costs climbed faster than revenue, up 7 per cent QoQ to Rs.238 crore, driven largely by higher content costs and operating expenses. As a result, EBITDA dropped sharply to Rs.13 crore from Rs.19 crore in Q2 and Rs.28 crore a year ago, pulling margins down to 5 per cent.
Yet, the bottom line refused to blink. Profit after tax stood at Rs.40 crore, up 15 per cent sequentially and only marginally lower than last year’s Rs.42 crore. A healthy Rs.57 crore in other income helped cushion operating pressure, keeping profit before tax at Rs.48 crore, broadly stable quarter-on-quarter despite the tougher cost environment.
The real headline-grabber, however, sits on the balance sheet. The company remains debt-free, with cash and cash equivalents swelling to Rs.3,279 crore as of December 31, 2025. Net worth rose to Rs.3,748 crore, while online collections accounted for 97 per cent of total receipts, underscoring strong cash discipline across operations, including subsidiaries.
In short, while Q3 showed signs of operating strain, the financial backbone remains solid. With zero gross debt, steady profits and a formidable cash war chest, the company enters the next quarter with flexibility firmly on its side proving that in uncertain markets, balance sheet strength can be the best growth strategy.
