Which means Zee already got the fear of Colors Star potential and doesn't want to loose the overall Karnataka market.

Zee always launches only when competitors starts gaining attention.
1. After Suvarna was successful with its 3rd devotional program S.Mahathme, Zee's Raghavendra Mahathme finally getting on-air.
2. After Nooru Janmaku promo released, Naa Ninna Bidalare started on Zee.
3. When Star Suvarna aired promo of IsmartJodi, immediately Jodi No.1 started on early slots.

There are many instances like this.. They don't want to loose viewers for competitors attention.

Actually Colors Kannada Followers Should have more then others due to biggboss. Their Post is having Very Good Reach, But Most of them Don't Follow the Handle and follow only official Hashtags.Coming to YouTube it is different Story
Zee Kannada Followers count unbelievable, During few years back there was only 1M difference between CK and ZK

Zee is getting followers bcz of reality show contestants.. Everytime when new contestant comes, their followers starts following Zee and that's a plus point for them.

Star should include a scheme of giving prices to insta followers for their current Bombat Bhojana and Suvarna Gruhamanthri viewing scheme.

Sadly,after merger very less chances.

Unlikely they can't use Zee/Asianet joint venture channel name and Trademark in karnataka region.
