24 channels going to add on DD Freedish in september

The country’s only free-to-air direct-to-home
platform Freedish has slated its 30th auction
for 15 September, which also coincides with
the day Doordarshan first started beaming in
1959.
.
A DD announcement stated the auction is for
‘vacant DTH slot’ indicating only one slot, but
went on to say that the reserve price per slot
is Rs 4.3 crore, thus indicating there may be
more. The slots have fallen vacant as the
license period of one or more of the 80 TV
channels on the platform have expired.
.
Freedish had plans to add 24 new channels,
increasing the number from 80 to 104 by
September 2016.
