[ambandla]

This morning this was announced in CNN-IBN. Didn't watch full news.

 

[deepak.krishnan]

[thunderbird.117]

[ambandla]

[Pathik]

[soham]

Is it banned on Dish TV as well?

 

[ambandla]

Dude, it's banned means it's banned irrespective of service provider

 

[lalam]

Huh what why? I love watching that channel

 

[NucleusKore]

Will give the channel more popularity when it comes back

 

[amitava82]

I wonder how these fashion TVs are called so.. I mean the kind of dresses are designed by the designers and shown on the channel, its totally impossible to wear in Public places. I'm not only taking about in India but also in other counties too.. If you can't wear then then whats the use of designing.. What a foolish concept and rubbish designing. total waste of time, money, energy.

 

[prasad_den]

Was banned for the Midnight Hot show...

[blueshift]

AXN is already back.

I dont see this channel but why the Government acts like a 'moral police' everytime? Why dont they ban those idiot daily soaps? Is nudity only 'injurious to health'?

 

[ambandla]

hey, AXN is already back. I am watching in every now and then.

Regarding FTV, Some of their hot shows feel us really good.

Ban those channels airing Daily serials. That's something that should be done for the welfare of nations

 

[Apollo]

In the case of FTV, the action has been taken for airing programmes such as Midnight Hot, featuring "skimpily dressed and semi-naked models."

Such programmes, according to the Ministry, are against good taste and decency, denigrate women and could adversely affect public morality. The ban has been ordered as per Section 20(2) of the Cable Television Networks Regulation Act, 1995.

The action follows complaints to the Ministry by television viewers.

Maybe we should all complaint to the Ministry regarding these daily soaps that we're all so sick of.

 

[thunderbird.117]

What is the complaint going to be for those shows?.

Do you think they listen oh please ban the shows because they are so boring and waste of time?.

What the Cable Television Networks Regulation Act also says:

No programme should be carried in the cable service which:-
Offends against good taste or decency:
...

Encourages superstition or blind belief;

Denigrates women through the depiction in any manner of the figure of a women, her form or body or any part thereof in such a way as to have the effect of being indecent, or derogatory to women, or is likely to deprave, corrupt or injure the public morality or morals;

The cable operator should strive to carry programmes in his cable service which project women in a positive, leadership role of sobriety, moral and character building qualities.
