The Decision
Tata Play, one of India’s leading Direct-to-Home (DTH) service providers, announced that Sony channels would no longer be part of their bundled packs. Instead, these channels will now be available only on an à-la-carte basis. This means that subscribers who wish to continue watching Sony channels will need to add them individually to their subscription.
Reasons Behind the Move
The primary reason for this change appears to be a pricing dispute between Tata Play and Sony. According to reports, Sony demanded a significant price increase during contract renewal negotiations. Tata Play decided that passing this cost onto their customers would not be in their best interest, leading to the removal of Sony channels from their standard packs.
Impact on Subscribers
For many Tata Play subscribers, this change means a shift in how they access their favorite Sony content. Channels like Sony Entertainment Television, Sony MAX, and Sony Sports Network, which were previously part of various packs, will now require separate subscriptions. While this might be inconvenient for some, it also offers flexibility for those who only watch specific Sony channels, as they can now choose to pay only for what they watch.
How to Add Sony Channels
Subscribers who wish to continue watching Sony channels can do so by adding them individually through Tata Play’s platform. This can be done via the Tata Play mobile app, website, or even through a simple WhatsApp message. The process is straightforward and allows users to customize their channel lineup according to their preferences.
