Discussion Sony officially announces termination of Zee merger

[Ashok Varma]

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.

Sony have failed in TV consumer space except SAB due to no regional channels and urban centric programs as urban viewers are already moved to OTT. I don't think Sony will succeed in OTT due to fierce competition.

Nobody will succeed in OTT.

Earlier, the industry projection was 5-10 Million premium subscribers, but observing the current situation, it won't even be 2 Million.

Already Sony Marathi has started following the Sony Aath model of dubbed programming. They have launched promos of Marathi dubbed versions of CID and Aahat set to air on weekends from this November. Also they're airing reruns of their old shows on the channel.

They're still living in delusion. If some Indian or foreign company makes a hostile takeover of Zee (which is a probable possibility in the future, in my opinion), Punit Goenka will gradually be thrown out.
