7)Concept of launching multiple GEC & movie channels was also from Zee
8)Movie Premiering & many other telecasting formats has been copied form ZEE only.
9)Concept of launching 'Regional GEC's & "movie channels" was also from Zee, 'Zee Marathi' &' Zee Talkies' are the examples, Zee Talkies was a lone warrior for 15 years until the launch of 'Pravah Picture'

Buddy i believe you follow/read the posts on the forum on a regular basis and understand each point mentioned in it. I have in the past given detailed explanation about how star india and zee entered/expanded in broadcast television sector. Anyways request u to go thru previous posts once again to better analyse the the journey, how each started / expanded / innovated / faltered / succeeded / failed and reasons for it.
By the way ur 1st point itself is wrong. Zee TV was a JV between star india and zee when it started in 1992. Star India and Zee were partners until the year 2000. So each launched channels to compliment each other. If Zee Cinema was 1st Hindi Movies Channel then at same time Star India launched 1st English Movie Channel Star Movies, Zee launched Hindi Music Channel Music Asia so Star India had English Music Channel called Channel V, Similarly there was Zee News/Star News.
I can explain all the latter things in detail but i suggest u should google and read about bcoz it will b very long thing to write.
Being 1st to enter a market surely creates nostalgia and good recall value among audience but broadcasters need to innovate, experiment and deliver best products so that they r successful. In my opinion zee has done a good job on certain fronts but overall star/disney has been lot better than then on most fronts. Again i have discussed many points on this earlier so u can have a look at it or google information to better analyse the facts.
I have always appreciated every broadcasters for their positive points but constructive criticism is extremely essential. It is the basis to introspect, implement better strategies and deliver good results. Being responsible viewers or even as supporters of zee you should share such suggestions / views with other members as well as broadcasters. Taking everything with a negative perception is non productive and not right.
I always prepare feedback for all broadcasters and share with them / their channel heads with the hope that improvements will happen. Being viewer this is our basic responsibility. Broadcasters do take note of viewer feedback though in some case process will b faster while for others it may take a little longer time hence patience/ persistent r very important. You must have noticed i always raise the issue and state solutions possible for it, this is constructive criticism while just saying negative things about a broadcaster or being biased towards another is what should b considered wrong
