NEW DELHI: Toon Disney in English and in Tamil are distributed as free-to-air (FTA) channels in the areas covered by conditional access system (Cas) in Chennai.

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) clarified today in a release, placing the details of maximum retail prices fixed by the broadcasters in respect of Cas areas on the basis of the reporting done by them in terms of clause 7 (ii) of the Tariff Order of 31 August last year.

The change had been made as the Authority was informed that some of the pay channels listed in its website are not pay channels in some of the notified areas and also some new pay channels for the CAS notified areas, have been reported, asserts an official release.

TRAI has accordingly updated its list of channels with the charge per channel.

Meanwhile, CAS has come into effect in South Delhi and some parts of Mumbai and Kolkata. Cable operators had begun blacking out pay (encrypted) channels from the evening of 31 December itself.
