The Central Government has prohibited transmission or re-transmission of four channels, which had been telecasting objectionable programmes through the Cable Networks and DTH Network in the country. It had come to the notice of the Government that some cable operators in the country, through their Cable Television Networks, were transmitting/re-transmitting satellite channels i.e. “BlueKiss”, “BlueKiss Express”, BlueKiss Promo” and “TBL-XXX” which were reportedly telecasting programmes that are against good taste or decency and likely to adversely affect public morality.
An order prohibiting transmission/re-transmission of above television channels has been issued and has been forwarded to India Broadcasting Foundation (IBF) and all Cable Operators and MSOs. Further, this order has also been sent to all the Chief Secretaries, Director-Generals of Police of all States and Union Territories and also to District Magistrates of all Districts of all States and Union Territories, who are ‘authorized officers’ to implement this decision as per the Cable Television Networks (Regulation) Act, 1995.
