Have broadband players like Reliance and Bharti approached India TV to be part of their network?
Several such players, including Reliance, have approached us and the matter is under consideration. (India TV, anyway, uses Reliance’s fibre optic network from 100-odd locations in the country to send TV feeds to the broadcast center). We have also got offers from the US to work out a distribution mechanism there, where we wouldn’t have to pay to be on a network. A few non-resident Indians did make an offer to this regard, but at this moment our focus is to establish the channel in India before we start looking outside. We also plan to remain a digital free to air channel.
