The 24th CABLE TV SHOW 2023 is set to take off on 11th January 2023 at Science City, Kolkata. CABLE TV SHOW is one of the largest trade shows on digital cable television, broadband, and OTT in India and the Saarc region.
The latest technologies, products, solutions, and services will be showcased during the three-day exhibition. Delegates and representatives of the cable television sector from across India and Saarc countries have confirmed their participation. Organizers say that it will be a three-day B2B mega event. Organized by Kolkata-based Cable TV Equipments Traders & Manufacturers Association (CTMA), it is one of the biggest events in the region. The exhibition is open to the public via registration at the spot and draws over one lac footfalls during the three days.
“As we could not hold the Cable TV Show last two years due to the covid pandemic, we are more than making it up by organizing the 2023 Show on a much bigger and grander scale in terms of increased space, range of participation, and scope of activities related to the cable sector. We have received an overwhelming response from the vendors and operators this year and have increased the exhibition space to host 28 pavilions and 100 major stalls and participants covering a wide range of state-of-the-art technology products, services, and solutions related to the cable television industry,” said Pawan Jajodia, Chairman Exhibition, CTMA while explaining the details of the event.
“The Cable TV sector is now almost thirty years old and has grown into an industry with widespread social impact and an important aspect of the Internet of Things. Cable TV – besides entertainment – is a major medium for spreading education, networking, communication, and reaching out to the masses. Post covid phase, when many activities went online, there has been a huge surge in consumption for content delivery and bandwidth. The Cable TV sector is now highly organized and has emerged as one of the important pillars of our society and democracy,” said Shri K K Binani, Secretary, CTMA
