FTV banned

Fashion TV or FTV is going to be off air from March 12 (7.00 p.m) to March 21 on cable television networks throughout India following a ban by the Union Government on Thursday against the channel for showing nude women in a programme.

The Information and Broadcasting Ministry said in a statement that FTV channel has violated various clauses of the Cable Television Networks Rules, 1994.

The statement said: “A programme on FTV channel was telecast on September 4, 2009 at 15:37:34 hours and 19:01:48 hours showing women with nude upper body which was offending against good taste and decency.”

According to the I&B ministry, the visuals were “obscene, denigrating women and were not suitable for children and unrestricted public exhibition.”
