New Delhi --- The government on Thursday banned fashion television channel FTV for two months starting April 1, 2007 for allegedly beaming 'indecent' programmes.
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 programme 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.
The government had earlier banned AXN; a channel owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment, on January 17 this year but had lifted it after the channel's apology

FTV shouldn't be banned in India..
people who dun know know abt the channel will now be more curious to know what is there in the channel so that it is banned...
and even there are so many other mediums also which have much more indecent stuff. Govt can't ban internet...
Will govt keep banning all those also...
can't they ban something else like poverty, crime...
hmmm very big deal for them...
Govt of india always see the negative aspects of thing can't they be positive minded...???

Complete idiots, they do anything they like, they should all be fired I say...
i know after so many controversies this channel will not be banned in India..and will be telecasted again..
actually Govt needs some junk stuff to show that it exits..
but they dun know that they are losing the meaning of Govt..in doing all these things
Ours is the most idiotic system ever I must say...

It is good that they banned such a vulgar channel.
It should have been banned long ago, simply a shame...
Shut up ankit!
it's because of people like you that these guys have the guts to do such things...
Complete IDIOTS!
They should not have banned this channel, infact they should not ban anything like this, it shows their backwardness...
It shows that this country is still undeveloped, we were all these days thinking that we are a developing country, but no, these guys are going in the opposite direction, they are going towards undeveloped nation...
