Breaking ZEEL and Sony merger approved by ZEEL board; definitive agreements signed

[marvel44]

Correct me if I am wrong.

Sony TV, Sab, Max etc & all Sony sports channels are still 100% owned by Sony and Zee has no Share in them.

But Sony has 50+% shares in Zee Channels.

So there will be no impact on current Sony Channels but we may see changes in Zee Channels (like Zee tv, & tv etc)

Nope, that wouldn't be the case.. The deal proposed is a merger and the Zee MD & CEO Punit is going to head the whole company as MD & CEO... There wouldn't two different entities, it's a single one and will be listed as a Public trading company in India.

How would we know even if they become no.1

Since Sony has less channel compared to Zee nd also on Zee has Zee cafe..they might excpect to close &flix nd just keep Sony pix around wig &prive for niche/Indi content while Zee cafe stays for tv shows

How would we know even if they become no.1

Sony has closed around 20 of their own channel's from last 5yrs..they closed Sony leplex which is top channel at that time for premium HD channels nd AXN also got closed...Sony is struggling,so they called for merger..

On lighter note let's expect Sony nd Zee launches a new English movie channel..the name is [& PIX ] ..I'm excited

What if they decide to take & brand to sports showing premium sports content.
