Very good news indeed!

No it's not... neither do we need the super biased propogandaic Fox news, nor the mindless American entertainment (sitcoms etc.) that come with it. This is horrible news.We may want it as idiot consumers, but we definitely don't need it.

Irrespective of how the channels are , it's encouraging to see that foreign channels are keen on coming to India.
