[icernet] News blitzkrieg

[Arul Selvan]

  This month sees as many as four news channels blip our TV screens. 
Sahara Samay went on air on March 28. In this short span, the channel 
has got good feedback from the media, thinkers and viewers alike, 
says Arup Ghosh, HOD National channel, claiming, Unlike others we 
dont want to dictate but involve the viewers at each stage of 
programming. Zee has undergone a complete revamp and has two 
different look shows up its sleeve. Even TV Today Network is 
adopting a slick, crisp and lively manner to attract a wide audience 
for their news English Headlines Today. The new Star News, on air since 
April 1, is in Hindi and looks entirely different from its earlier avatar.

The channels will also depend on their news anchors. Sahara has Vinod 
Dua, Shireen, Sudhir Chaudhary and Arup Ghosh. NDTVs star attraction 
will be star presenter Prannoy Roy who makes a comeback to regular 
broadcasting after a long break, and others like Rajdeep Sardesai and 
Barkha Datt. For its Hindi channel, it has taken on some of the best 
from other channels, such as Dibang from Aaj Tak and Nidhi Kulpati from 
Zee News.
