TVR Shenoy talks about Doordarshan's Piracy regarding the forceful wrenching of telecast rights from Ten Sports. I was thinking along the same lines myself since the SC intervened and forced Ten Sports to give rights to DD.
I mean .. what is this? Its like some kind of extortion .. Strangely I have not found anything along these lines in the media as Shenoy also rightly mentions. And I always thought the Indian media was pretty impartial and did not play for the crowd.
Hi ANiruddha
more than the SC it was the Govt which forced TS to share the telecast with DD......and no one in the media will dare to write anything agt DD.....translated as agt the govt right now with the elections fever and india shining atmosphere....
I agree with you though....it was arm twisting at its best.....
