Sony Pictures Networks India (SPNI) has expressed concern over Tata Play‘s unexpected decision to remove Sony channels from the bouquets of nearly 10 mn subscribers. The company believes this move was made without prior notice to SPNI or consideration for subscribers’ preferences.

SPNI said in a press note, that Tata Play’s decision may be retaliatory, linked to SPNI exercising its audit rights on Tata Play’s subscriber management system. Over the past few years, SPNI has identified and communicated several discrepancies to Tata Play. The claim of “loss of viewership” made by Tata Play is described by SPNI as misleading.

“We believe this decision was made without due consideration for our viewers. Our loyal audience, which values diverse and high-quality content, will continue to access our channels through other platforms nationwide,” an SPNI spokesperson stated.

Despite Tata Play’s actions, SPNI remains committed to delivering top-notch entertainment. The company assures its audience that they will continue to have access to their favourite shows and channels, regardless of Tata Play‘s decisions.

SPNI’s dedication to providing quality content remains unwavering, and it continues to explore alternative platforms to ensure uninterrupted service for its viewers.
