After merger Sony share will be 53 and Zee share 47. If Sooryavansham is to be broadcast 100 times every quarter in ratio of the merger then 53 times will be shown on Set max and 47 times on Zee Cinema.
Considering 2020 share Sony zee will have huge market equal to 23 - 24% which will easily put them closer to monopoly.
Doesn't India have regulations like US. !?
Yet this merger was needed for survival of both.
Dish-d2h and Vodafone-Idea were both Mergers of the Strugglers. Both of them ended in trouble. Not to mention that Dish-d2h is owned by Essel Group itself, but it was not mentioned in today’s news articles as it isn’t owned directly by Zee. Hopefully Zee-Sony will be able to avoid that fate as it has the backing of Sony Group Corporation, whereas Vodafone-Idea lacks a strong financial backing and owes thousands of crores to the Government.
