SGPC Opens Gurbani Telecast Feed for Wider Broadcast Beyond PTC Channel
The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has opened its live Gurbani telecast feed from the Golden Temple for wider broadcast after previously reserving exclusive rights. This change follows criticism of a monopoly held by the Badal family-owned PTC channel, whose agreement with SGPC expired in July 2023. GTC Network, led by former PTC head Rabindra Narayan, began retransmitting Gurbani via SGPC's YouTube feed, with SGPC members clarifying that the telecast link is now open for all channels to use.
