Who Blocked NTV's Broadcast?

One of the highly popular news channels of Telugu states, Ntv's broadcast has been blocked in most of the districts of Andhra Pradesh all of a sudden since yesterday by cable operators( MSOs). 

A political story is said to be behind the blockage of Ntv in AP. As per this story, two Telugu news channels were blocked a year ago in Telangana state as they reportedly have gone overboard poking fun at Telangana CM KCR and his ministry. As the government felt those channels hurting the feelings of politicians and the people, it imposed an unofficial ban on both the channels.

Meanwhile, Ntv telecasted some satirical stories on TDP's government on 'Cash for Vote Scam'. Irked by the channel's act, TDP's government was gossiped to have taken a decision of blocking the broadcast of the channel in AP. TDP may consider it a tit for tat exercise but people understood it's one more act of TDP showing its  hypocrisy maintaining dual standards of the media of pro TDP and anti TDP.
