Television Industry Faces Trouble

As per the reports of the survey, video streaming platforms have gained attraction, whereas the television industry has been facing losses lately. According to the survey, 43% of people mentioned that their television viewing time had been decreased and nearly 16% of people have unsubscribed from their DTH connections because of the new Trai order.

The survey by YouGov was conducted among 1000 people in India between February 17 to February 24, 2020. The earlier NTO which was implemented in February 2019 allowed users to select their preferred channels and pay only for them at the maximum retail prices (MRP’s). However, NTO 2.0 resulted in an increased price for like-to-like entertainment.
