Can the news genre support more channels? In an already crowded space with ZEE News, STAR News, Aaj Tak, Sahara Samay National, DD News and NDTV India, is there place for more ? Agencyfaqs says that the Adhikari Brothers, promoters of SAB channel have announced plans for a new currents affairs and news channel by April this year. And there are more where these came from…..
Is India a newsy culture? Yes, to the extent that we seem to be inordinately fond of discussing politics and exchanging gossip all the time. But to watch news channels on television regularly is another story altogether…..
Is there enough news to support 24 hour news channels through the day and week? Everyday, I see more and more ‘features’ on news channels, on the man with the long crooked nails and the cat which became friends with the rhino and so on….. news items bordering on desperation…..
Why this fascination for this genre among TV channels? Is news that hot a proposition?
