Foreign broadcasters to be kept off Indian skies

BS: : Things could get tough for foreign news broadcasters that uplink from outside India. The downlinking policy, which is on the anvil, proposes to ban them from airing content as well as advertising meant for India. Only channels owned 74 per cent by Indians can uplink from India. CNN, BBC, Bloomberg TV and Euronews will be at the receiving end of the proposed policy.
Besides, channels beaming to India also have to have a minimum net worth of Rs 1.5 crore and another Rs 1 crore net worth for every additional channel.
