Zee Sports back on Hathway; Incable blackout stays
MUMBAI: Zee Sports is back on Hathway Cable & Datacom in Mumbai, but has reached no agreement yet with Incablenet.
The case with Incablenet comes up for hearing in the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) tomorrow. Incablenet had moved the TDSAT, seeking restoration of signals as “Zee Sports had not served a 21-day notice before blacking out the signals.”
Sources say signals, however, were restored to Hathway today as the multi-system operator (MSO) had agreed to enter into a commercial agreement.
Zee Sports was put back on cable networks in Pune after the Pune District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum directed Zee Sports to restore the signals till further hearings on 21 September. Zee had restored the signals in Pune following the order, but moved the Commission.
Zee Sports has the exclusive telecast rights for the DLF Cup between India, Australia and West Indies. The tri-series will last till 24 September.
