Shame On Music India And Ptc

[PARDESI]

Music India is making mistakes day by day first by cutting the Gurbani half way and going straight to music or ads.

Today without a msg or apology in place of showing Rehraas thy were broadcasting morning prog from Golden Temple.

if you contact there UK office no one answers!

So we Needs to get Golden Temple rights from PTC and Music Indian and it should be given to any media channel controlled by SIKHS and only by SIKHS!

PTC is being controlled by Badal's and doesn't represent Sikhs or Sikhism..

Music India only took the rights to gain some TPR or viewers........ They had no intentions of serving the SIKH community.

We should bring SIKHTV back and keep what belongs to Sikhs with us and not have it been used commercially.

You are correct, I have highlighted similar issue earlier. http://www.sikhsanga...hib-programmes/

But today it was extreme, when we noticed they are showing Parakash instead of Rehraas Sahib in the evening. Zee-Punjabi was far better, why they cancelled their rights, when they were not in a position to manage broadcast in UK/Europe.

[PARDESI]

They did not canceled the rights they took them away from Zee Network as Zee Networks position was very high and there contract ended last October and they gave the rights to Music India other wise they would have lost viewer and Music India might have not done much with it music and talk show so they though lets add Gurbani to our UK computer.

Hopefully PTC will loses the rights and it will be given to Media owned by Sikhs who care about Sikhism and represent Sikhism.

We need to take care that our Gurbani reaches millions and inspire our community to practice Sikhism ( not only youth but even there parents ).

Will try to contact Music India London office to ask if they were having any technical problems or they just left the broadcasting on auto pilot.

Hope more sangat will complain about this

05/12/2011 I watched it this afternoon and the PTC Punjabi logo had LIVE under it, I will try and check properly in the morning but it appears that they might be showing a Live link at last???

@SikhWorldTv

What you saw was a unedited version of Gurbani. The Gurbani is Live In India and other sub continents but due to time gap they can't show it any where else!

So they made a mistake or they had no one to look after the broadcasting on that day.

I will Pm you pls check it!

[kaur777]

it will be best that if a live telecast from Golden Temple should broadcast in Seprate channel.

i guess a complete sikh channel should be introduced rather then broadcasting it in a rugular channel like PTC where songs and ads are been shown.. which give an complete disrespect to the flow of gurbani.

[PARDESI]

We have in past spoken to people in charge of broadcasting within The SGPC about a 24/7 Online Channel but they refused as they will loss money as when the Gurbani is been played in commercial Channel the SGPC get % of revenue and a % from ads income of channels generated while playing Gurbani!

There have been Sevadaar's In USA and EU who tried to get the rights to Broadcast FREE online but thy were not granted the rights!

plus due to time differences it will be difficult to have Sangat watch Gurbani as If the Rehraas sahib is in IST @ 6pm that will be around 2 or around 2 pm UK time so you can't have Rehraas Sahib ( evening prayer ) played in afternoon............. So it has to be delayed for countries with big time differences......
