Times Group has finally taken the plunge... Coming soon to your TV sets (it has already started albeit its only advertisements for now) is Times Now -- Feel the News -- ohh ! so what else do we do with news?? The 24 hour news channel is the 2nd television channel of Times Group after Zoom. They claim that it is --------------------------- "the channel of big stories, the channel that’s urban from surface to core. The channel with news and shows woven in a crisp contemporary package, the channel with some of the best known faces in the Indian television journalism, the channel with distinctive but seamless news formats, the channel that adds a new dimension to urban reportage, the channel that is relevant and engaging for a viewer like you" --------------------------- Hmm.. interesting! Have I heard this before??? And guess who is leading this 'English news channel from the biggest media conglomerate in India' -- Its' Arnab Goswami - One of NDTV's senior editor and an award-winning journalist. He is the VP and Editor in Chief of 'Times Now'. So, after Rajdeep Sardesai, its one more senior folks at NDTV who has joined the big league. And with it, the number of news channels has increased by "ONE"!! Just 'feel' the current list > 3 by NDTV - NDTV 24x7,NDTV Profit and NDTV India > 2 of India Today Group -Aaj Tak and Headlines Today > 2 by CNBC group - CNBC, Awaaz > CNN-IBN (led by Rajdep Sardesai) > India Tv (led by Rajat Kapoor) > Channel 7 > Star News > Zee News and Zee Business > Sahara Samay > DD News > Besides there are the eternal CNN and BBC World guess what?? my television currently supports only 110 channels & at the rate at which channels are being launched.. it sure seems a number which will be overhauled soon , pretty soon.... |
