Cable Television Networks Rules

InformationMinister Anurag Thakur on Tuesday said the term "anti-national attitude" has not been defined in the Programme Code enumerated in the Cable Television Networks Rules, 1994, but is commonly understood as "opposed to national interest".

The Centre has amended the Cable Television Network Rules to provide for a statutory mechanism for the redressal of complaints relating to content broadcast by the television channels.

TV channels that do not comply strictly with the code on programming will face faction, the Karnataka Police has said in an order. Any channel that shows a programme that "offends against good taste or decency", among other restrictions, can be charged under the Cable Television Networks Rules, the Bengaluru Police said in the order.

The Centre has told Delhi High Court that it is the responsibility of the private TV channel owner to ensure that programmes it telecast does not violate the Programme Code prescribed under Rule 6 of the Cable Television Networks Rules, 1994.

Freedom for the Indian news media is incomplete, with a big hole in it.
