This is a very wondrous news..! Like Disney's aquisition of Fox and Discovery WB merger globally. Actually Zee wants a strong fund source and Sony seeks for expanding their content library. This situation lead for their merger. Zee is very strong in regional entertainment and Sony is good at Sports. Both are fair at Hindi entertainment & Movies. This Fair + Fair results a big best in Hindi genre. I believe SET, SAB, Zee TV, Max, Zee Cinema will continue. Sony should sacrifice their Marathi, Bangla channels against Zee.
While Zee concentrates on Regional channels Sony will give attention to English, Sports, Infotainment genres. Both will serve equal attention over Hindi genre.
ZEE5 should shutdown and include a Zee HUB on Sony Liv.
