Disney international is missing English gec
Is it Star's answer to comedy central or is it a different kind of channel?
Checked the programming of Disney International. It seems to aimed at teenagers.

Cannot be consiedred as a English GEC channel like Star World or Zee Cafe.

It's more like Nickelodeon.

Another news report has come today: SPN, Viacom18 merger deal likely to be sealed in September third week - Exchange4media

The big merger in the entertainment industry is all but done. The wait is expected to be over soon. The deal for the merger of Sony Pictures Networks (SPN) India and Viacom18 is likely to be announced in the third week of September, bringing down curtains to months of speculation, it is learnt.

The merger will not just boost efficiency but also exploit synergies, creating value for all stakeholders. The merger of three brands, which has been in the talks since the end of last year, will apparently create a single entity that would have a wide bouquet of offerings under their umbrella. The merged entity will together own 77 TV channels, two OTT platforms, three film studios and two digital content studios, making it a strong competitor for all major industry leaders.

The merged entity will be in a much stronger position post the finalisation of the deal, with their offerings across genres that will include not just Hindi entertainment but also genres like Hindi movies, sports and kids.

SPN is expected to be the major shareholder in the new scheme of things once the stakeholders have signed on the dotted lines. SPN, as per sources, will have anywhere between 51% and 55% stake in the combined entity and will also stand to benefit from the association in terms of strong distribution facilities from the house of Reliance.
 
Well regarding this Sony - Viacom deal, many members having different opinion, some say that this merger will be game changer in India and some say it won't. Some say that this deal should happen and some say that this deal shouldn't happen, well shall a POLL be created about the same in this thread ?? @GJ mit bro
