Summary:
KOLKATA: The city is set to migrate to the a la carte subscription regime on March 31 with at least 1.5 lakh blank screens. Even if the number of blank screens drop in Kolkata, it may take longer across the districts, felt industry insiders. “We will now have 5%-10% blank screens constantly since a section will continue to default. But they will keep coming back to the fold so the loss will be temporary,” said the official.The number of blank screens is higher outside Kolkata. A small section is believed to have chosen to discontinue with multiple cable TV connections.Till last week, the number of blank screens across the city was more than 2 lakh..
