Sony, Tata Play spar over removal of TV channels from DTH packs

Broadcaster Sony Pictures Networks India (SPNI) and direct-to-home (DTH) operator Tata Play are sparring over the removal of TV channels from consumer packs, with the former mulling legal options.

Tata Play has started removing SPNI channels from its bouquet, contending that the broadcaster’s channels, including flagship channel Sony Entertainment Television (SET), are losing popularity.
