Through this, the Nadigar Sangam will have exclusive ownership over content produced by Tamil films. After the launch, the satellite rights of all Tamil movies will be granted only to the Cinema channel. Other popular, mainstream channels will not be allowed to bid on the rights, a source told Silverscreen.
Music videos, teaser and trailer content from upcoming movies will also be streamed only on the Cinema Music channel. Meanwhile, audio release functions and other celebrity oriented events will be showcased only on the Cinema Function Channel.
