The following is the text of a faxed message received by Indiantelevision.com from Turner Interational India managing director Anshuman Misra.

I refer to the article on indiantelevision.com "Government looks ready to lift DTH FDI; Zee-AOL-Time Warner and News Corp likely to announce DTH ventures."

The reference to a joint venture between AOL-TW and Zee is totally baseless and is pure speculation. We would like to clarify that it is Turner who is hosting the reception in honour of Mr Levin and not "AOL Time Warner CEO Gerald Levin and the Zee Network chairman Subhash Chandra" as incorrectly stated in the article.

We request you to carry the correction on the website at the earliest.

Best regards
Anshuman Misra
Managing Director
