Tamil & Telugu Markets Are Very Bigger In India,

Sony & Zee Will Work Harder To Grab Top Positions On South

Zee Tamil went ahead with launching Survivor, breaking traditional zee's approach to reality shows. With the merger and if the same trend follows, we can expect KBC in Tamil and other regional languages on Zee channels and also survivor!

Same I'm also expecting,
better if Sony will invest little bit in south Zee channels,
Zee Telugu channels have less movie library, this merger will help to increase their library, even we can expect Sony Pictures Hollywood movies in Zee Channels forever.

ZEEL-SPNI Merger: Here are top highlights -

1. Post merger, SPNI to hold a 52.93% (majority stake) and 47.07% stake to be held by shareholders of Zee entertainment.
2. Sony Pictures Entertainment will inffuse $ 1.575 Billion in merged entity.
3. The majority of the Board of Directors of the merged entity will be nominated by Sony Group but Punit Goenka will be continue as MD & CEO of the merged entity.
4. Bothe companies agree to combine linear networks, digital assets, production operations and program libraries

SPNI will remain an individual entity, but Zee will become an entity controlled by Sony and will continue to be listed. That's the inference. It's a merger as company x acquires more than half of company y and company x will call shots.


Also I guess Goenka will be the head of the Zeel entity which has merged with Sony. So these could function independently while sharing content.

Yes. Just like Columbia Pictures.

I have a doubt. Why is there no mention of Zee Music Company? It's a part of ZEEL.
