Reduced time gap between Movies' Theatre release and Television premieres

It recently occured to me that in recent times, the gap between the dates when a movie is first released on Movie Theatres - multiplex or others, single screen halls and the date on which they are shown on television channels- like Zee Cinema, Star Plus, Sony, Set Max for Hindi movies, and HBO, Star Movies etc for English language movies has reduced. Earlier, we used to see that a movie being released in a year was shown on television- the next year, or may be 2 years after that. For e.g- I recall movies like DDLJ or Border being shown a good 2 years after their theatre release. However, now movies are sometimes shown just 4 months, or even 1.5 months after their theatre release. E.g - "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani" was released in Late October(or early November) and was shown on TV around New Year eve. Akshay Kumar-Sanjay Dutt starrer "Blue" was released in October and was shown on TV in December. It has been almost similar case with "Rann" and "Qurbaan". For "NewYork", the gap was of 4 months. What do you think could be the reason? Is it that now people see so many movies and are so busy that the films seem to get "older' very fast?
