MUMBAI: Six months after Discovery Communications Asia Pacific announced its entry into the Indian sports broadcasting arena with the launch of DSport, the infotainment network has reportedly roped in TS Panesar, former CEO of Hathway Cable & Datacom’s Video Business, to head the channel.
Official confirmation on the development was still awaited from DSport at the time this report was uploaded. Panesar, who was with Hathway for around 24 months, joined the cable TV company from Star India where he was executive vice president for distribition.
Coming from a broadcast background and spending 20 years in the industry, Panesar played a big role in making the cable TV operations process-driven and launched value-added services (VAS) to fuel Hathway’s future growth, televisionpost.com reports.
An online portal for local cable operators (LCOs), was launched to empower them to increase their revenues, reduce operational costs and introduce transparencies.
