News channels go off air in Bengaluru

Bengaluru, Nov 25 (IBNS): Two news channels, TV9 and NEWS9, in Karnataka alleged that they were taken off air in Bengaluru for several hours on the state government’s orders, media reports said.

Both the television channels belonged to the TV9 group. They claimed that cable operators blacked them out on Monday night in Bengaluru and its surrounding areas.

 

TV9 alleged that the operators acted on a guideline from the state Energy Minister DK Shivakumar. The government, however, denied the charge.

 

Reports said that after criticism and backlash both the news channels are now back on air.
