    Must for TV: Air ‘national interest’ content, 30 minutes daily

    The Union Cabinet has approved the ‘Guidelines for Uplinking and Downlinking of Television Channels in India, 2022’, under which it has become obligatory for channels to telecast content in national and public interest.
    Officials said exemption may also apply to wildlife channels and foreign channels, besides live telecast in case of sports channels.
    The government will, from time to time, issue general advisory to the channels for telecast of content in national interest, and the channel shall comply with the same, the guidelines say.
    Besides, it has been mandated for the TV channels uplinking in frequency bands other than C-band to encrypt their signals.
    The new guidelines also allow a news agency to get permission for a five-year period as against one year at present.
