I&B Ministry has prohibited the broadcast of Hope TV, a Christian lifestyle channel, for 30 days for "violation of policy guidelines for uplinking and downlinking of private satellite channels in the country". The decision came after the channel's distributor NSTPL failed to deposit the annual permit fee for downlinking of the channel and submit any clarification to the ministry's show-cause notices on the use of an unauthorised logo.
