NEW DELHI: The Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (Tdsat) today deferred the hearing of the petition by Viacom18 alleging material breaches, misrepresentation and under-reporting of subscriber base by the MSM Discovery distribution bouquet. 
 
The bench headed by Chairperson SB Sinha listed the case for tomorrow as new documents were filed by both parties in the matter.  
 
The case has arisen out of a dispute following the decision by Viacom18 to pull out its four channels – Colors, MTV, Nick and Vh1 - before the expiry of a three-year contract which had come into effect from 1 April 2009. Viacom18 has decided to shift its channels to Sun18, a newly formed joint venture between Sun Network and Network18.
