Focusing on a significant period in the era of television, the book details the transformation of Indian television with the arrival and expansion of satellite television after the 1980s. Re-engaging with television from a political economy perspective, it explores how the changes in the 1990s altered the power equations between the state and the electronic media, with televisions becoming increasingly important as a media from then on. Based on content analysis, archival research and interviews, it studies the milestones in the evolution of the Indian TV during this period: the growth fo a domestic cable industry, rise of indigenous private broadcasters, impact on the state-run television, regulation of the television sector and rise of new modes of distribution over the past twenty years.
