Hindi news genre is highly competitive with Aaj tak,Abp news,News18,Zee news and India tv being the chief players.
I think even republic will terribly.
But I m expecting this time they may get succes, specially for their new concept "Channel Goes Anchorless", it is first time in India, which may attract more viewers.
Sony & Zee also strong tv network. But their recent entry in various region, is not so fruitful for them. Even I m expecting, same condition will happen with Sun network on bengali market. It would be very hard to get succes for them here. However, anything could be happened. Hindi news genre is already dominated by few strong players like Aaj Tak, Zee News, ABP News, News18 India, India News, India TV & few mores. They never want to loss their market share. So, competition will be very tough to those new-comers, it is saying without any doubt.
