What I don't get is why would they buy a news slot from DM, I mean most of the time aapna played repeats. They weren't exactly short of any spare airtime on their own transmission.
They bought a slot so that they could launch the channel, its got nothing to do with amount of airtime that they have avaialabe.
Aapna or Aap TV has brought the channel space, like buying a house, they brought that slot channel number 803 (after reshuffle). Basically Dr L Malik has sold one of his channel space off to Aap TV.
I hope it is more clear.
