Acting on complaints, sector regulator TRAI has directed distributors of TV channels to make sure that channels belonging to the same genre are placed together and one channel appears only at one place as prescribed under its rules, failing which it will take action against the erring distributor.
TRAI's directive is important from a subscriber viewpoint as not placing the same genre channels together results in consumer difficulty in locating channels. On the other hand, the appearance of channels in more than one place can influence its visibility and ratings.
