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

[Niel Kumar]

We might finally see &TV close down as there are 3 big Hindi GECs under the new company, Zee TV, Sony TV and Sony Sab. For Hindi movies a couple of channels other than the core ones (Zee Cinema, Sony Max and &pictures) might be closed. Otherwise there are not many areas of overlap. Sony already closed its English GEC and music channels so that is not a problem.

Instead closing make it entertainment channel with Comedy/Dramas/reality shows/ finite series
Big magic to another kid channel

Now the real competition will starts... Sony - Zee VS Disney-Star VS Ambani's Viacom..
I think Sony - Zee will win as they have experience than others..

These two are baseless.

Sony and Zee are already profitable companies.

Finally we have got something good to hear!! This merger might help Sony to bounce back in terms of movies. Sony has mainly lost YRF library to Disney-Star star as well as movies from other production houses. Hopefully, we get to see famous production houses' movies owned by ZEE to air on Sony Network's movie channels.

Coming to ZEE, it would be better if ZEE shuts its & brand and shifts its content to Sony Sab. Also, ZEE can also shut down certain movie channels because there are enough movie channels from both the networks on which movies can telecast.

Hoping to see tough competition between Zee-Sony, Disney-Star and Viacom18!!
