NTV Tries to defend itself

The Open fight between ABN and NTv has crossed all boundaries of journalism.

Now we know how these channels are surviving without much regular ethically earned revenue.

People are wondering what news channels will stoop down to in the coming days

Tv5 vs NTV Jagan vs KVP

It is known that Jagan has invested in TV5 and KVP has put money into Ntv.

Now , with the distance between Jagan and KVP growing wider day by day, on some issues both these channels are being forced to take diametrically opposite views and stand.

AP Media Changing Equations

The Equations and power balance is changing rapidly in AP Media Circles

Ramoji Rao recently called the CM and pledged his 100% support to him to counter Jagan Mohan Reddy.

Is this the start of a signaficant change in Caste and Power equation in the state.

Traditionally Reddy and Kamma are opposed to each other. Now we have a Kamma a suporter of the TDP supporting a Vysya of the Congress and Reddy from the Congress opposing the CM in the same party.

It is reliably learnt that even Chandra Babu is passively supporting the CM just to Keep Jagan out of the Power equation in the state.

Lets wait and see these historical realignments

RK is singled out

RK is singled out
Radha Krishna is singled out among the tv crowd with the Jagan holding majority control over news tv stations in Hyderabad. NTV,TV5,Inews and Saakshi are attacking RK unitedly. RK now took Rosaiah support to fight this gang.

RK vs Surya

Here is the latest dope on the recent spat between RK of Andhra Jyothy and Surya:

RK recently got his power project cleared from the Government

To get this done His reporters were constantly sitting with Roshaiah and not allowing other journos to interact with the CM.

This led Surya Paper to Write an article on sarkari journalists not allowing others to work.

RK got enraged and started to bad mouth Surya Paper in his news paper and channel.

According to reports Surya is also not taking this lightly and is planning a massive onslaught on RK.

Lets wait and see the unfolding drama

TV5 channel launches Hair OIL

Beware---- Here comes TV 5 Hair Oil

Now Chamuru 5
TV5 Naidu launched Hair oil company in his TV studio. This oil is called new-gen and this Chittoor Naidu claims it will grow hair on the bald. Idea is good. When TV cannot make money you search for other resources. Despite the claims and huge publicity in his channel the users have complaints on this product. Instead of growing new hair they started loosing existing one.

Sakshi Tv commits a veritable Faux Pas

The day the building collapsed at Narayanguda , The News telecast on Sakshi stated that School building collapsed and about 300 children were killed.

Seeing this people rushed to the spot only to find that the actual blace that collapsed was an under construction site adjacent to a school building.
Needless to say they all got very cut up with Sakshi Tv. They beat up the location Reporter and also made sure that the DSNG Van was sent back. It was only much later that the Van could gain any live footage of the actual building collapse.


It pays to check before putting up a public notice!

Adinchedi Jagan, Adedi Tv5 and BR Naidu

Jagan has a new weapon in his hands. Whenever someone attacks him he responds though his new weapon ie. TV5.

The latest instance is TV5 responding to an item by ABN Andhra Jyothy on YS Jagan.

When Jagan wanted to attack Reliance , he used TV5 for this and not Sakshi.

Does this mean TV5 is controlled by jagan and not BR Naidu?

Gurivinda Ginjalu>>> TV9 : Sakshi Tv

Dear readers

Requesting all to post their views on the Fight among the 2 Telugu News Channels
TV9 and Sakshi Tv

ABN may now be called All Blue News

Once upon a time not so long ago there was a news paper called Andhra Jyothy run by one person called Jagdish Prasad. A simple man with simple tastes. People used to read the paper for whatever its worth.

Then came along a person called Radha Krishna, who wanted to become rich, powerful and almighty in a short time. He started to write pretty low stuff aimed at below the belt of a few people. This brought about a complete distrust about his paper but sold a few copies owing to his raunchy and slap dash methods of story telling.

Now he has taken a step further and started to play blue films on his channel in the name of stings. Actually the camera used is a normal camera and there was not any 'sting' element involved. A small time 'would have been' mla was caught in the 'act' on camera and the entire film was shown on the screen. All this aimed at somehow garnering a few TRPs so that he can show his face to his staff who openly oppose his views of story telling.

So we can safely rename is channel 'all blue News' channel.

Lets see if people really want to see blue films or still are interested news in the old fashion adopted by other contemporary news channels.

Iron Leg Lady- Swapna

Swapna, was made the managing editor of Sakshi Tv on 8th. People are already calling her the Lady with the Iron Leg.
The moment she took charge, the channel carried the story of YSR death vs Reliance conspiracy.

This has made people realize that Sakshi is indulging in false news stories and doing stories with a hidden agenda.

We all know that Jagan invested in Ntv and TV5. Ironically all 3 channels carried this story, and were booked by the police under various acts and sections.

If only Swapna had stayed to her forte of singing, things would have been easier for her and Sakshi as well.

SSP Yadav gives verbal slap to RK of ABN TV

RK of Andhrajyoty TV published an article in which he says that SSP Yadav does not know about the RTC fare hikes announced.

This , reports say, was done with an intention to embarrass the Government.

SSP Yadav, not one to let thinks lie down, hit back at him by calling a press conference in Delhi and tersely told the assembled media that the news should have been cross verified with him before publishing.

In a similar line........Zee 24 Gantalu wanted to weaken TDP and ran a false story on TDP's stand on meeting Chidambaram.

So much for FAKE JOURNALISM...........Journalists of Hyderabad are ot worried about facts. What ever their whim take them they go ahead and publish it.

Deccan Chronicle to Merge its subsidiaries with itself

Deccan Chronicle the leading English Daily of Hyderabad is planning to merge its subsidiaries Asian Age Holdings Ltd.; Deccan Chronicle Bangalore Ltd.; and Sieger Solutions Ltd. with itself.

Maybe its a stock market game. Later on they may also merge their sports management company which manages their IPL related business also to bring more valuation to the Listed entity

A Note from one of our Blog reader

NTV way of journalism

NTV Shamelessly doing wrong reporting and publicly portraying its Kamma lobby intentions. Once can clear see, the way they acted on Jan5th in Delhi. Delhi reporter Aruna while reading the English version of Home Ministery’s statement, translated wrongly the same in to telugu with miss interpretation. This is absurd and shameful to the journalism. Kommineni must be careful of his personal image rather than this kind of biased reporting..

Jagan the next Media Baron?

Looks like YS Jagan is trying to become the next media baron of AP.

Latest reports say that He has invested substantial amount in Both TV5 and NTV. The investment is giving him control over 3 TV News channels in AP apart from his News Paper "Sakshi"

sources are telling that his next step is to purchase TV9. This will truly make him the media lord of AP and give him control over what the people of AP see and hear.

Lets wait and watch.

Sailesh Reddy to face ZEE Management Inquiry

Latest news is that the support for KCR and separate state is likely to prove to be very costly for Sailesh Reddy of Zee 24 Gantalu. As we all know Sailesh has been completely supporting this movement for a separate state. So much so Some Vehicles of this channel have changed their registration no. from 'AP' to 'TG'



The channel was running some scrolling news about TDP's policy on Telangana,
This made Chandra Babu Naidu very unhappy and angry, resulting in a complaint to Zee TV chairrman Subhash Chandra.

Subhash Chandra has initiated a very serious inquiry about this and this may prove to be very costly for Sailesh Reddy.

That is why taking sides is a very dangerous game. Lets hope Sailesh Reddy learns his lessons.
