In 1984, cable television made its foray in India and it was considered a cost effective alternative to watching borrowed cassettes of feature films.
Local entrepreneurs saw in this an opportunity, as investments required to install a cable network were low. In the early 1990's many private channels were launched to tap the nascent cable television in India. Launched in 1992, Zee TV was the driver of the expansion of cable television in India.
