RE: Zee to buy Reliance Broadcast Network for Rs 2,000 cr
So what does the new acquisition bring to the table for ZEEL?
ZEEL will get six TV channel licences through the acquisition. RBNL holds five TV licenses (including Big Magic and Big Ganga) and Azalia holds one licence. The licences will get transferred to ZEEL through the demerger scheme. All the related assets and liabilities including the trademarks will also get transferred to ZEEL.

RE: Zee to buy Reliance Broadcast Network for Rs 2,000 cr
The only missing piece in the ZEEL jigsaw is a Malayalam GEC. The company, which has been considering entering that market for quite some time, will now seriously look at opportunities as it has already cracked the Tamil market.
