New Media Bill in India
NEW DELHI, June 27: India's government is proposing legislation that would regulate the country's broadcast industry.
 
The bill is aimed at Indian media companies, but places restrictions on local programming that would impact foreign channels as well, such as News Corporation's STAR TV and Sony's SET.
 
According to press reports, the bill would require that 15 percent of broadcast content be produced in India, 10 percent of programming be dedicated to socially relevant issues and 10 percent of advertising time be reserved for public service announcements.

 
India's Cabinet could discuss the proposed legislation as early as next month.
