MUMBAI:
The impasse between the broadcasters, TV content producers
and workers continued as viewers were denied for the second
day fresh programming of their entertainment content on Hindi
general entertainment channels.
A
day after the broadcasters expressed their united stance,
producers today said the way out was for the three stakeholders
to sit together and arrive at a solution that would overhaul
the system that has developed flaws.
"Broadcasters,
producers and workers have to meet together and clean up the
system," said Mukesh Bhatt, chairperson of the producers
core committee, while addressing the press here today.
The
working conditions need to be streamlined and there should
be a different wage structure for the film and the TV industry
as the requirements are different.
"The
rules need to be different for the film and the TV industry.
The broadcasters, workers and us need to meet in a common
platform and try to resolve the issue at the earliest,"
said Bhatt.
"The
need is to draw a fresh set of guidelines for the smooth functioning
of the industry. Equally important is that all the three bodies
must come forward with a positive mind for change," Bhatt
added.
On
Monday, broadcasters had sent strong signals to the TV content
producers and workers that they would not absorb any rate
hike at a time when the global economy is on a tailspin.
