Post Govt may ban religious and political TV channels

Television channels run by religious and political entities may not stay on air for long, if the government accepts the recommendations of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI).


TRAI chairperson Nripendra Misra, in his letter to Information & Broadcasting Secretary Sushma Singh, said restricting religious and political organisations from running TV channels “will ensure the… medium is used for advancing public interest” and “for greater realisation of the common man’s right to be informed fully and fairly”.

TRAI has recommended that such channels be phased out in three-four years.



What do you people think about this issue ?

Will it be better to ban channels or will that be infringement of the right of people ?

Put down your thoughts ............

Ban all of them............
I don't even watch any of them. That kind of channels will cause nothing but trouble. But maybe some people will benefit from them (like the owners of that channels).
