The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has withdrawn the up-linking and down-linking permission granted to Express TV, under news and current affairs category. The Ministry has issued a letter to this effect today, the 17th Dec.2020. The name has been deleted from the list of permitted channels in the Ministry’s website.
The MIB has also directed all the MSOs and LCOs not to carry the channel and warned them of action as per the Cable TV Act, in case they do not follow this order.
The channel has stopped operations for more than 2 years and the promoter Mr. Jayaram was allegedly murdered later. There are cases pending against the channel for its alleged violation of statutory norms. To avoid delay in procuring license, Dr.Jayaram has acquired M/S JSD Data Infotech private Limited which has a valid license with the brand name Express TV.
