With around 250 million TV households, more than half of them
subscribing to a pay TV service, rich linguistic and cultural diversity,
a thriving film industry and around 900 million active mobile phone
subscribers, India is one of the largest and most dynamic media markets
in the world. For the July 2016 issue of the journal, we are seeking
articles about Indian television and video.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

·Digital switchover: history, plans, progress, possibilities

·Digital dividend and spectrum management

·Digital Television Empires in India

·Online platforms for video delivery: IPTV, SVOD, file-sharing and others

·Foreign investment in Indian TV, distribution, channel-packaging and
program production

·Political Parties and Digital News Channels

·Relationships between TV and other sectors, including film/cinema,
online, mobile and physical/DVD

·The role of public broadcasting after switchover

·International distribution of Indian television channels and content

·Sport and television

·Advertising

·Formal and informal video economies

The /International Journal of Digital Television/ explores the
transition to digital TV and the social and cultural questions
surrounding the future of television beyond switchover. It brings
together and shares the work of academics, policymakers and
practitioners. Content ranges from critical work on technological,
industry and regulatory convergence to wider socio-cultural and
political questions including audience behaviour, plurality of channels
and programming choice, and television’s influence.
