It's
all about getting the combinations spot on. In these times
of rising tensions between broadcasters and cable operators,
networks are offering various combinations of the channels
they have on
offer to ensure that their channels get carriage.
Details
about the various packages Zee is offering post its joint
venture deal with Turner Broadcasting are now available.
Obviously a lot of effort has gone into making sure that
there is something for everyone in the packages on offer.
This is crucial because increases in cable subscriptions
may well lead to a situation where, due to consumer resistance,
operators pick and choose the bouquets that they carry.
