TDSAT tells TataSky, Sun Group to bury the hatchet

Broadcast tribunal TDSAT on Tuesday directed DTH operator TataSky and South-based broadcaster Sun Group to sit across the table and resolve differences through talks. “Both parties would meet on Friday in the respondent’s office at Chennai,” said the TDSAT Bench headed by Justice Arun Kumar. TDSAT also directed the Sun Group to file its reply within a week and later TataSky to file a rejoinder.

TataSky had filed a petition before the tribunal, accusing Sun of not sharing signals of channels offered by the group’s network on its DTH platform. Meanwhile, TataSky and Sun TV differed with each other on the number of channels of the Sun Group during the proceedings.
