In the context of Indian television, which decade marks the era of satellite invasion ?
Answer: A
The era of satellite invasion in Indian television is the 1990s.
Until 1991 Doordarshan was the only television service. During the Gulf War of 1991 CNN's satellite coverage reached Indian homes through cable operators, and from 1991-92 Hong Kong based STAR TV and then Zee TV beamed channels into India by satellite. Cable and satellite channels multiplied through the decade, a change often described as the satellite or 'sky' invasion.
Television itself began in India in 1959, and the 1960s and 1970s were the years of terrestrial Doordarshan and the SITE experiment of 1975-76. The 1900s predate television altogether.
