KOLKATA: The clock has turned back for
Channel Eight as it agreed to join hands once
again with Bengali general entertainment
channel (GEC) Aakash Aath.
Last month, Indiantelevision.com had reported
about the on-going tussle between the
production company and the GEC over the
unkept promise of 51 per cent stake of the
channel being handed over to the production
company. It compelled Channel Eight to
disassociate itself from the GEC.
However, within a month things are looking
better as the two have found a mediator.
“Someone has agreed to mediate between the
two warring parties and has taken the
responsibility of honouring the deal,” reveal
highly placed media sources.
As per the new agreement, Channel Eight’s
programs like Janani , Police Filez , Ghhente
Gha, Sahityer Shera Shamoy and Gaan Dariya
among others which had gone off air from
Aakash Aath are back on from 14 July.
Aakash Aath also runs on software provided by
Channel Eight.
In October 2013, Channel Eight had
relaunched the Kolkata headquartered Electro
steel Group’s GEC Akash Bangla as Aakash Aath
and till June 2014, had invested around Rs 15
crore in the process as per sources. Channel Eight and Aakash Aath kiss and makeup | Indian Television Dot Com
