The programs of all the channels are not beneficial. Some channels like Discovery, National Geography, Animal Planet, ESPN, etc. telecast many informative and educative programs. On the other hand, some channels like TV-6, MTV, HBO, AXN, etc. cause cultural decay and moral degradation because they are full of nudism and vulgarism.
Satellite telecasting has added new dimensions to television. Nowadays a huge number of satellite channels telecast a wide range of programs of varied interest. We can enjoy many events and programs like songs, sports, music, movies, drama, news, etc through these channels. They introduce us to the newer knowledge and ideas about the world.

Their taste and modes of life are being influenced greatly by some satellite channels and they are becoming uncontrolled gradually. It is true that the programs of some satellite TV are destructive. Some channels telecast adult movies which cause very harm for a teenager; they make a bad effect from this. Those programs which are harmful should be avoided. That’s to say, constructive programs of satellite TV channels should be enjoyed. Some foreign channels telecast serial dramas full of family conspiracies and harmful values. Being addicted to these, we are forgetting our own culture.
We should select those channels and programs that represent our own culture and heritage. Our own culture programs and elements should be seen and enjoyed frequently. In this way, we can nurture our national culture and heritage. Satellite TV channels should play constructive roles. We also have to find out how to derive the best benefit from satellite TV channels keeping its evil up to the minimum limit. For this, the authority should keep an eye open so that standard and elegant programs are produced. Again, available access to vulgar channels must be restricted. Otherwise, moral degradation will take place and social stability will be destroyed.
