Zee Media is different group alreasy Zee News shown disclaimers that they looking same but operatated by two different group .. so dont bring sony in News brand
Still they are related, unlike Asianet News which has zero connection with Disney-Star’s Asianet. Indian news media companies need to be majority-owned by Indians.
 
Now, Sony can give a come back after loosing great movies especially YRF library. As said by @ak7777 bro, good production house movies can now be viewed on Sony channels. At least now, Sony has got a ray of hope to bounce back in terms of movies after loosing so many movies.
 
Then why r they merging,, actually they were profitable in few some departments only like star and Viacom, zee was afraid so suddenly before Viacom got tied they tied knot and now they will live happily
Zeel's promoters had to sell their majority stakes in zeel to pay off the debts incurred in their Essel properties company. They rn hold only around 4 percent shares in zeel and the major stakeholder want the promoter to be removed from the board.

This merger will solidify the position of the promoter as he'll head the merged entity and he can also increase his shares to twenty percent. That's from zee perspective.

Sony Group has been pushing for a merger or partner in India for a successful transition from traditional to digital content consumption. Please refer to the letter of TONY VINCIQUERRA, CEO of Sony Pictures Global, for reference.


Moreover, both Sony and Zee are already profitable companies in India. These two causes led to the merger and it is symbiotic. Win win situation, if you ask me.

Sony Pictures' CEO has restated their plan in his letter to his employees after today's announcement. Source:
