NaMo TV is a special service, not a news channel: Tata Sky makes U-turn
Amid a raging debate over NaMo TV , DTH service provider Tata Sky Friday did a volte-face saying the channel is a "special service" and its content comes from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Initially Tata Sky, through a tweet, had called NaMo TV a "Hindi news service which provides the latest breaking news on national politics." But as debate raged over allegations of channel violating the model code of conduct in place for the general elections, Tata Sky in a statement said: "Namo TV is a special service available to all subscribers. The content of the service comes from BJP." "Tata Sky is a content distribution platform. For any content related queries please connect with the owners of the content," it added. Initially, Tata Sky had stated that the channel had been added to all subscribers account "as a launch offer." "There is no option to delete the individual channel," it had said in a separate tweet.
