Coverage on Spotlight A game-changing deal in the Indian television space The formation of the JV would be a game-changer in the Indian television industry. With close to 70 channels in their bouquet and an estimated 40 per cent share in viewership, the new entity would have far greater ability to negotiate higher share of the subscription pie and lower carriage fees with MSOs.

For consumers, the impact could be marginally negative, with a likelihood of increased subscription charges.
