| Vanita Kohli-Khandekar: The paradox of choice | 30-JUN-09 |
|
| It is frustrating being a television broadcaster. Usually, in a developing, under-penetrated market, as the number of players grows so do the revenues and consumer choice.

| The prodigal returns? | 15-APR-09 |
|
| The News Broadcasters Association (NBA) has extended an olive branch to India TV — the Rajat Sharma-promoted channel that withdrew its NBA membership last week after being fined by the News Broadcasting Standards Disputes Redressal Authority. It is reliably learnt that NBA President G. Krishnan, Sameer Manchanda of Global Broadcasting Network and KVL Narayan Rao of NDTV met Rajat Sharma to sort out the issue and persuade the channel to continue its NBA membership. However, India TV does not seem to be in a mood to relent. An insider claims that the channel will follow the Order of the Disputes Redressal Authority; that is, it will pay the fine as well as carry an on-air apology for the story for which it was pulled up. But returning to the NBA fold remains a question mark. |
