The transmission or retransmission of FTV on all platforms has been prohibited throughout the country with effect from April 1, an official statement said here.
The channel has been banned for showing programmes that were against good taste and decency, denigrate women and likely to adversely effect public morality, it said.
The statement said government has noticed that some cable operators were transmitting or retransmitting a satellite channel -- FTV.Com India, which was reportedly telecasting programmes such as 'Midnight Hot'.
The said progamme was against good taste and therefore, the government banned the channel in the country exercising powers conferred under the Cable Television Networks Regulation Act, 1995, the release said.
