If this deal happend,will there be any new chnnel launching or rebranding?In fact viacom doesnt have an english movie channel.Both colors infinity and comedy central have great shows.So if they launch an english movie channel maybe we can expect great movies with a large library.

It's very difficult to fight with Disney monopoly
Better Sony - Viacom - Zee should merger

Sony will hold 74 per cent stake in the merged entity while RIL and Viacom who are 51:49 JV partners in Viacom 18 will retain the remaining 26 per cent. Of this, RIL's share will be between 10-12 per cent.
