Channel Placement Contract Does Not Entitle Broadcaster To Demand That Distribution Platform Operator Offers Bouquet Of Channels: Delhi HC

The Delhi High Court held that under a channel placement agreement, a broadcaster cannot demand that distribution platform operators (DPOs) offer a bouquet of channels. The court's ruling reinforces the regulatory framework that allows DPOs to offer channels on an a-la-carte basis, ensuring consumer choice and preventing broadcasters from forcing the subscription of unwanted channels through bouquet offerings.
