Ongoing Dispute Between Tamil Nadu MSOs and Star Network Results in Service Disruption
A significant dispute has arisen between Tamil Nadu's Multi-System Operators (MSOs) and Star Network, resulting in the suspension of Star channels across several networks. Below is a summary of cable household distribution in Tamil Nadu and the respective market share of each MSO:
MSO Households (Million)
TCCL 3.2
SCV 2.1
V K Digital 1.6
Others 1.0
Total 7.9
Effective October 2, 2024, all Star Network channels have been non-operational across these MSO networks due to a pricing dispute. The issue arose when Star Network unilaterally implemented a substantial price increase without prior consultation with the MSOs. Despite efforts by the MSOs to resolve the situation and express concerns about the negative impact on customers and operators, Star Network remained firm in its position, leaving no room for negotiation.
After extensive discussions failed to yield a compromise, the MSOs were left with no alternative but to discontinue broadcasting all Star Network channels across their networks.
The affected channels include popular Tamil entertainment and sports offerings such as Star Vijay, Vijay Super, Star Vijay Music, Star Sports Tamil, and other channels with Tamil feeds. Industry reports suggest that Star Network is experiencing significant financial losses as a result of its channels being unavailable in nearly 50% of households in Tamil Nadu.
The ongoing standoff underscores a critical challenge for Star Network. The company's decision to proceed with the price hike, despite MSO opposition, has not only disrupted service but also risks eroding viewership and market share in a highly competitive landscape. If left unresolved, the situation could have long-term implications for Star Network's brand and presence in the region.
