gibreel ferishtaReliance Big Broadcasting (RBB), the television arm of the Reliance ADA Group, is on its way to becoming the country’s single largest owner of television channels, under the brand name ‘Big’. It already operates 46 FM radio stations, the highest by a single radio operator and a Direct-to-Home platform, all under the ‘Big’ name.
The company has applied to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (I&B) for a licence to operate 33 news channels, the highest for any single broadcaster so far. It has already got the downlink licence for 18 non-news channels under the brand name ‘Big’.
Once it gets all the approvals, RBB would own over 50 television channels, the highest among all the existing broadcasters. The Zee, STAR and Eenadu groups own less than half this number.
