Prasar Bharati Discontinues Association With PTI, UNI
Citing rationalization of expenditure, Prasar Bharati (PB) has planned to discontinue subscriptions to services of PTI and UNI. Reportedly, current subscriptions were on an ad-hoc and pro-rata basis as contracts with PTI and UNI had ended in 2006. However, fresh bids for digital subscription in multimedia services will be invited. Earlier, PB had warned PTI of cancelling its subscription after Chinese embassy published a truncated clip of PTI's interview with the Chinese ambassador.
