Discussion Sony officially announces termination of Zee merger

DMK has nothing to do with Sun Group. (Although it is one of the MK family member's business group like other companies of their family members)


It's upto Kalanithi Maran to decide as he holds 75% of Sun TV Network and as per various journalist they are planning to launch News channels in Hindi and English languages. Also they entered 3 new markets in the last 5 years in GEC space.

Bro political party needs news media to popularize their ideas .

Sun is struggling in every language other than tamil. It's natural if they merge with Sony. For this, they need to have their news business as a separate entity as a foreign player cannot own news media in India.

If Sun wants to sell all channels except Tamil & News Division, then Sony will be perfect fit for Telugu, Kannada & Malayalam as Sun lost market share to rivals Star & Zee.

 

[Joel.G]

All the networks will be looking not only at the market share but also at the profitability, the chances of reaching the break-even target if they enter any new market.

Sony's digital strategy was the best thing they have done in recent times to my knowledge.

Let's see what the new team does, as they started revamping.
