Amongst other complaints, it was alleged that the Corporation had fixed very high prices for the allotment of free-to-air channels for telecast and had excluded several paid channels in the same, including Jaya TV. Further, Informant’s channel was shunted from one band to another, for its negative news coverage on improprieties pertaining to liquor in the State. The information was closed for a lack of evidence provided by the Informant.
