----------------I&B Ministry has banned satellite television channel AXN, owned by a unit of Sony, for two months for showing programmes such as the "World's Sexiest Advertisements", the government said on Wednesday.
"The government has prohibited the transmission and retransmission of the satellite channel AXN with immediate effect and up to March 15, 2007, throughout the country," Information and Broadcasting Minister Priyaranjan Dasmunsi told reporters.
The channel was banned for showing programmes which Dasmunsi said were against good taste or decency and "likely to adversely affect public morality".
India banned Fashion TV, a cable channel that often shows models wearing skimpy clothes, in February 2002 for vulgarity but the decision was reversed a week later when the channel promised to adhere more closely to Indian sensibilities.
