FDI in TV channels - the secret war

[icernet-admin at listserv.cddc.vt.edu]

A vociferous group of Indian broadcasters and a host of regional channels
have formed what they call the Indian Media Group (IMG). The IMG is, of
course, a hastily constituted conglomerate of several powerful Indian media
companies (Bennett, Coleman & Co., the India Today group, Sahara and Zee, to
name a few) floated to take up the Star News issue with the government. That
slugfest between Indian broadcasters and foreign entertainment channels has
largely escaped media attention. Understandably so. Much of the manoeuvring
has been going on behind the scenes, whether it is Gurumurthy meeting Advani
or Sahara chairman Subroto Roy dropping in on Prasad. And not many people
wish to go on record on the matter.
