I was referring to @Aneesh Bal's post since he posted without a source. Now the deal will definitely be cancelled. No doubt about that.

Yes, they were big networks but confined in a small space. And the case with Zee is entirely different. Star want to enter in Malayalam and Kannada market so bought Asianet Communications, similarly acquired Maa. Is that the case of Zee Network? Disney Star has the money power to buy them. But why should they buy it? It simply results in the replication of channels and multiplication of employees in each and every field. More channels powerful network concept became outdated. Networks now looking for reducing the number of channels and focusing more on ott. Before IPL 11, Star is very aggressive in expanding Sports channels to regional languages, but now they are retarding.

Still star sports is ignoring Marathi and Malayalam Viewers and not launching Sports in this two regions which is needed.

We should stop discussing further about this deal. We shall start discussing when we get a official announcement from both the parties be it from their social media/website or press release. We should not waste time to discuss it. Before that we got so many information about sony buying stake in zee but it's end up being a fake and baseless news.

Here's a report from The Hollywood Reporter who reported about sony acquiring stake in zee but guess what this deal never happened.

Last week i told all of you to not post anything more about this deal. I knew this merger will not happen.

Any chance to sony+zee deal??

Chances are there for either Sony+Zee or Viacom18+Zee as Zee promoters share holding reduced to 5% now.

Neither this partnership has been officially announced or denied though seeing changes which have happened in last 5 or 6 months i still feel this will materialise... May b OTT will b kept separate. Why would sony take big risks like shutting axn or sony mix if things were unsure.

Also about this article, maybe these r just speculations or some intentional rumors being spread so that competitors r not kept in loop and do not prepare big plans to counter them. Could b a strategy to take every1 by surprise
