In a bid to introduce global channels, Reliance Big TV, the direct-to-home (DTH) arm of the Reliance ADA group, is set to ink deals with
Fox, Warner Brothers and Korean Broadcasting. The company is also said to be in advanced stages of discussion with global DTH operators and some private equity investors to hive off 49% stake for Rs 8,000 crore ($1.6 billion).
The discussions with global entertainment giants form part of the DTH operator's overall strategy to increase its channel bouquet from the current 200 to 400 channels as announced by ADAG chairman Anil Ambani in September 2008.
Once the carriage agreement is inked, Big TV will introduce five global channels of Fox and one global channel each of Warner Brothers and Korean Broadcasting. The name of these channels are Fox Adventure, Fox Crime, Fox FX, Fox History, Nat Geo Music, Warners WB Movies and KBS World.
 
thats a pretty long period from now!!!and hope they offer without any additional add-ons or extra charges else there is no meaning of saying "we offer 400 channels" but what to do with it if we have to pay price for all of them!!!!!
 
There are two aspects to this. First is the price and second is that I don't know how popular these channels will be. Also all DTH providers are promising 200-300 channels. But seriously, Think hard about it and see , how many people actually watch that many channels. I don't think I personally watch any more than 10 channels. So its mostly a marketing gimmick than real substance.
 
TRUE.... dont we have anything else to do in life except to sit at home and watch idiotic programs on TV!!! (and even paying higher price for 200-300 channels)!!NO WAY. 10-20 good channels are more than enough rather 200-300 crappy ones (execept they give them as FTA which sounds almost impossible in india)!
 
Thanks SVK for the updatesSo calling up the call Center really helps, lets push these guys :thumbsup:
