In an unexpected decision, Tata Play has withdrawn all Sony channels from its base bundles, including Sony BBC Earth. This decision was recently made and has provoked numerous discussions among subscribers. According to Tata Play, this measure was taken to lower the cost of the bundles, making them more affordable to customers. As a result, members will see a drop in their package costs beginning in August.
However, this adjustment would not impact all Tata Play customers. This modification appears to affect only a subset of the intended audience. The selection criteria remain opaque, and only the Tata Play team is aware of them. A few million consumers would most likely feel the impact, while the others may see no difference in their subscriptions.
One of the most common queries is why only Sony channels were targeted for removal. According to Tata Play’s statement, there was insufficient demand for these channels, resulting in this decision. This raises concerns about a potential contractual issue or dispute between Tata Play and the Sony Group, similar to previous conflicts.
For anyone wondering how this may affect their viewing experience, the new rate lists for the bundles show a significant change from the old pricing. If you are a Tata Play subscriber, you should review the new tariffs and compare them to your current bundle.Sony channels can still be viewed; however, they are not included in the main packages.
