Recently a special "Puthu Velicham" programme was shown on IBC Tamil TV, where the Puthu Velicham presenter, Dinesh, interviewed the head of IBC Tamil, Niraj David, and the former head of IBC Tamil, Para Prabha about the anti-IBC Tamil & Lebara propaganda by different writers and websites.

The reason behind the anti-IBC Tamil & Lebara propaganda is due to an episode of the popular "Vanakkam Thainaadu" programme aired on IBC Tamil TV. In the episode the Sri Lankan army is shown, who has given blood to Tamils, and the Sri Lankan army is portrayed in a positive way. This has made many Eelam Tamils angry abroad because many still remember what the Sri Lankan army brutally did in May 2009 to tousands of innocent Tamils during the final war to end the Tamil liberation struggle against the Sinhala oppression of the minority Tamils in the island. Tousands of Eelam Tamils were killed by the army and war crimes were committed against Eelam Tamils.

Another South vs North battle is brewing in Tamil Nadu.
Over the past four years, a new secondary market has developed for top notch Hindi general entertainment fiction shows in the state. Tamil television networks have been picking up Hindi series, dubbing them into Tamil and putting them on air.
Among the Hindi shows that have got a Tamil home figure: Naagin, Ballika Vadu, Thapki Pyar Ki, Swaragini, and KumKum Bhagya, Udaan, and Uttaran, Na Aana is des Laado, Tu tu Main Main, Parvarrish – Kuchh Khattee Kuchh Meethi.

When Global Tamil Vision - also known as GTV, from UK, ceased satellite broadcasting for some months ago, it was thought that it was the end of GTV in Europe & Australia. Money problems and pressure from the big media players like Lebara Play and Lyca TV in Europe was said to be the main reason for the closure of GTV. Some of the presenters joined Lyca TV like the TV-licence-holder of GTV in UK, Sockalingam Karunalingam. But some GTV presenters didn't join another media, but stayed to see if they could bring GTV back on air.
