NTV hikes salaries

NTV has hiked salaries of its employees and it reflected in the salary of July paid on 1st of August. Though the Heads of various wings are happy with their own hike and their favourites also getting good amounts, some of the staff are left out despite their abilities and are said to be disappointed. most of them feel that the salaries are on the expected lines but not as they desired. Now it is the turn of TV5 and its staff are waiting for the hike which is likely to be reflected in this week's salary account.

Vanita on 8th August

Vanita TV , Women's channel of NTV is going to be launched on 8th August, coinciding with the Women's Day. Though, the earlier proposal was to launch on 30th, the first anniversary of NTV and Bhakti, the management has changed its mind and felt that this occasion is more apt for a women's channel

www.hypetv.com

CBC, a news channel started 8 months back has shut down the business and informed its 80 odd employees to search for jobs. No compensation is paid to these journos. While iNews tv is next in the queue, NTV and tv5 are witnessing a great crisis. Slowdown growth of real estate is also one of the reasons.

What will be the fate of the mushrooming news channels after the elections?
These owners know there are no revenues in the business. Salaries and cable operator costs have shot up making the business unviable . They still want to do it to meet their political ends.

What would these new channels do when the elections are over and the dust settles down? Today these owners are ready to face losses. But for how long? Sources say, Y.S.Jagan is loosing 1.4 crore per day on the newspaper. Would he continue to bleed after these elections? Wait till April.

JAGANANNA IS WORTH ABOUT A LAKH CRORE OF RUPEES.
ONE CRORE LOSS A DAY IS PEANUT FOR HIM.
UNTIL EENADU IS CLOSED JAGANANNA WILL NOT TAKE REST.
RADHAKRISHNA IS ONLY A FLY.
HE HAS NOT COMEOUT AFTER ISSUING NOTICE TO YSR.
HE SHOULD HAVE FILED DEFORMATION SUIT IF HE WERE TO HAVE GUTS.
DONT UNDERESTIMATE JAGANANNA

Prepare for the interviews

Everyone knows about Chiru kind of Interviews. He must be given a list of questions before hand what the interviewer is going to ask in the interview. Then he will edit the questionnaire and adds of his own like, why he changed his name to Chiranjeevi, what made him to do Praja seva, Status of Megastar (Megastar word should be present in atleast 3 or 4 questions), Whether he will enter into politics or not. Now he is busy in having mock interviews from Media People as the Media people are not going to give questionnaire before hand once he announce the party.

Chiru also thought of not giving any interviews after Party lanunch, but most of them said that it wont be possible to hide from the media eyes. Instead of that they suggested to go with mock interviews, so that he can have an idea of what kind of questions he will face in REAL interviews.

Tail Piece: One jounalist asked him from which place he will choose to contest, he gave a cinematic answer like, "pick one slip and will contest as per that". Journos made a comedy of this statement after coming out of his house and came to a conclusion that he should come out of this cinematic mind as there is a huge difference between 1983 voters and 2008 voters.

WHETHER CHIRANJEEVI COMES TO POWER OR NOT IS NOT AT ALL A CONCERN TO ALLU ARAVIND.
HE IS BENT UPON COLLCTING AT LEAST FIVE HUNDRED CRORES TOWRDS PARTY FUND WHICH THE ENTIRE FAMILY IN LIFETIME CANT EARN AS FILM ARTISTS.
ALREDY AROUND TWNTYFIVE CRORES COLLECTED.
THEREE IS RUMOUR SOUNDING THAT ARAVIND HAS PUT A PROPOSAL WITH YSR TO PART WITH THOUSAND CRORES FOR NOT STARTING POLITICAL PARTY BY CHIRANJEEVI FOR WHICH CM HAS DECLINED AND ACCEPTED FOR FIVE HUNDRD CRORES.
ANYWAY WE WILL SEE LOT OF MASALA AFTER CHIRU DIRECTLY COMES ON STAGE.

there are lot of episodes being floated by tdp leaders regarding chiranjeevi entry in politics.
CHIRANJEEVI MET CBN BEFORE EXERCISING ABOUT POLITICAL PARTY SINCE BOTH ARE GOOD FRIENDS.
IT SEEMS CHIRANJEEVI TOLD; THAT HE DOESNT LIKE YSR;AND IF YSR COMES TO POWER NEXT TIME HE HAS TO FACE LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH HIM.
SINCE HIS CASTE PEOPLE WILL NOT VOTE AGAINST CONGRESS IF HE IS NOT IN POLITICS;HE HAS DECIDED TO START PARTY ON HIS OWN TO SPLIT CONGRSS VOT WHICH WILL NOT HARM TDP.
IT SEEMS HE HAS SHOWN THE INSTANCE OF ASWNAIDUTT WHERE IN HIS STATEMENT TO SUPPORT HHAS BOOMRANGED AND HIS CUTOUTS WERE BURNT BY NO OTHER THAN HIS OWN CASTE PEOPLE.
HENCE HE HAS OPTED TO START PARTY ON HIS OWN.
ONLY TIME WILL TELL HOW MUCH TRUTHIS THERE IN THIS STORY.

Market share of channels

Since some of the friends are asking for the market shares of various channels, we have decided to present here from next week onwards. Even on earlier occasions, we tried to furnish the data of news channels as and when we got it. However, we thought that only journalists are reading this blog and that they are interested in News Channels only. As requested by some of the readers, it has been decided to get the details of entertainment channels also hereafter. We have contacted our sources and two of them have agreed to part with the data. Usually it is possible for us to get the TAM data by Thursday evening. At any cost, we'll see that it is posted on this blog atleast on Friday.

English and Urdu Bulletins

News channels are trying to be different from other competitors. Sakshi TV wants to air a couple of English Bulletins and hired English journalists too.TTV is one step ahead and it wants to introduce both English and Urdu bulletins. Definitely these moves are going to be innovative and aimed at attracting a section of the audience.

However, TV9 is going to launch an English channel from Bangalore soon while TV5 has been announcing its decision to start an English channel. TV9 wishes to make it a national channel but TV5 wants to project the news from the southern states. But giving limited bulletins in English and Urdu concentrating on the happenings in AP is an experiment.

ఎలక్ట్రానిక్ మీడియా సంఘానికి ఎన్నికలు జరగవా?

ప్రస్తుతం హరిప్రసాద్ అధ్యక్షతన కొనసాగుతున్న సంఘం కేవలం హడ్ హక్ కమిటీ మాత్రమే. ఈ కమిటీ ఏర్పడి సంవత్సరం అయినా ఇప్పటిదాకా సభ్యత్వ కార్యక్రమం, ఎన్నికలు జరగలేదు. తాజాగా ఆగస్టులోగా ఎన్నికలు జరుపుకోవాలని ఎలక్ట్రానిక్ మీడియా సంఘం కార్యవర్గం నిర్ణయించింది. కేంద్ర, రాష్ట్ర ప్రభుత్వాల్లో ఎన్నికలు ముంచుకొస్తున్న తరుణలో అనుకున్న షెడ్యూల్డ్ ప్రకారం ఎలక్ట్రానికి మీడియా సంఘానికి ఎన్నికలు జరగడం సందేహమే..

Radha dumps KR

AJ Radhakrishna who assured to support K.Ramachandra Murthy for his Telangana TV has changed plans and decided to go ahead with his own television station before elections.This TV will be called AJ TV and heavily funded by Pro Babu lobby.Unconfirmed reports say that Radha's affair with Chiru is over and he again got back to Babu for the support.Sources say Vasanta lakshmi would head this channel

Narne Group channels get license

Narne Group got licenses for its proposed two channels. One of them will be Entertainment Channel and the other , a 24 hour News Channel. The News Channel is likely in December and the Entertainment Channel may take a couple of months after the launch of the News Channel. The names of the channels are yet to be known.

Mr. Sivaram Prasad, once the Managing Director of TV5 is again the Managing Director for Narne's News Channel according to sources close to him in TV5. Advertisement calling for applications is likely to appear by 1st August

ETV2 continuously losing

The latest TAM data shows that ETV2 is continuously losing while NTV and TV5 are closely competing with each other.

TV9 recorded 3.7 market share while ETV2 got 1.94. NTV could maintain at 1.31 while its counterpart TV5 secured 1.27 percent. Gemini News is at its usual 0.28 percent.

In Hyderabad city alone TV5 recorded 1.86 percent of viewership while NTV could get only 1.39 percent.This is contributing greately for TV5s competition with NTV. People at NTV are unable to digest this phenomenon

Not only ETV-2, It's tough time to NTV also. Few of NTV Reporters are ready to quit organization.

Mr. Srikanth, Sr. Reporter is unhappy for a long time in NTV. He is going to resign by the end of month or in first week of August.

And one more Reporter Somagopal is also ready to jump. He has got an offer from Sakshi and the negotiations are going on.

In the same way, a Senior Crime Reporter Ramesh Vaitla is also ready to quit NTV, if he gets a good chance anywhere. Reports tell that He has confirmed his place in Asianet's Sitara.

Eluri Raghu Babu is capable in producing programmes by hook or crook. When in need he will talk buttering people, when there is no need he even does not recognise them. He will promise hike in salary everytime, but never keeps his promise.

With an attender and an Editor he can produce episode after episode. First he reads the script, modify it even after a scholar writes it, he will direct even the smallest data graphics, then he takes a view of the preview, if program fails, he even scold the entire crew, in purest KAMMA language.

One Raghu is enough to defame ETV2.
