Disney And Reliance Clinch Joint Venture In India

Disney and Reliance have announced an anticipated deal in India to merge their respective digital streaming and television assets.

Disney anticipates up to $2.4 billion in charges for the March quarter, reflecting a write-down of the net assets of Star India, and of removing the assets from its entertainment linear networks ahead of the deal closing with the business now classified for accounting purposes as what’s called “held-for-sale.”

With this merger all Bigg Boss versions come under a single network now.

Viacom18 is owned by RIL and ultimately whatever they own is of RIL in the end.

Paramount is exiting india, once it happens RIL will abandon viacom name also. Just like how tatasky abandoned Sky name.

MTV & VH1 brands will also exit India? Like HBO?

RIL drags Disney Star valuation by 75% from 14 B USD to 3.5 B USD

RIL shows epic deal-making prowess, brings Disney India valuation down by 75%

Industry observers believe that because of the liabilities against media rights for sporting events, largely attributed to RIL's aggressive behaviour, the India business itself had turned into a liability for The Walt Disney Co

Untill Paramount gets brought out, i dont think major changes would happen. Comedy central, Nickelodeon, MTv and VH1 alternative is to be built by that time
