if merge successfully happens then more Zee and Sony channels like & Brand, wah, yay, Zee Action, zest follow shutdown for new Sony/Zee entity. Sony already destroyed Sony Mix and Sony Rox HD music channels now they are looking on remaining Zee's only youth/music channel Zing.

Merger always looking good in paper work, but reality is it's destroying Both Zee and Sony network legacy for new entity.

Wrong Article headline, it's Zee Media News network exiting BARC not Zee entertainment.

It won’t be a surprise if Zee Yuva or even Sony Marathi is shut down as per what @Aksgr bro is saying. Zee has way too many Marathi channels. I don’t understand why they had to launch Zee Chitramandir only for DDFD audiences when they could use one of the existing channels.

As I pointed out in my article on Zee Vajwa’s shutdown back in March:

In fact, Zee also has a Marathi channel called Zee Yuva, which specifically is named after youth and was launched in August 2016 as a secondary entertainment channel to complement the flagship Zee Marathi. However, it quickly lost its way and today shows a random assortment of movies and TV shows. Zee Yuva certainly looks like one channel too many in the broadcaster’s Marathi portfolio, which otherwise consists of the flagship GEC Zee Marathi, the movie channel Zee Talkies and another movie channel, Zee Chitramandir, that was exclusively launched for DD Free Dish. With Sony Marathi also joining the groupfollowing the Zee-Sony merger, Zee took the decision to eliminate a Marathi channel as there were too many to deal with (not counting the news channel Zee 24 Taas, which is run separately by Zee Media Corporation). But it has chosen the wrong one.

It makes no sense why the broadcaster did not put the long-suffering Zing and Zee Yuva out of their misery, but instead pulled the plug on Zee Vajwa, which had a bright future ahead that was clearly demonstrated by its social media reach.
