Kasturi News 24 owned by Anita Kumaraswamy (wife of H D Kumaraswamy) with its tagline ‘muktha, nirbheetha and nyayasammatha’ entered the field in 2007.
#Udaya tv news kannada tv#
The entry of TV 9 owned by Ravi Prakash of Sneha Television Network in 2006 opened a new chapter in the field of Kannada news channels with its aggressive journalism.
Udaya TV was the first Kannada satellite channel to go on air in 1994. Whether this channel will make any difference to the existing media scene, is what we have to wait and watch. Some have openly questioned his integrity as his name is embroiled in a site he got allotted to himself under discretionary quota during the regime of S M Krishna even as he went on unleashing tirade against politicians doing so in the umpteen number of TV shows he anchored when he was in Suvarna TV. Ranganath is believed to be a straight forward and dispassionate journalist though there is certainly a question mark on his own integrity. Public TV has become the 7th Kannada news channel of the state which will fight it out with Udaya News, T V 9 Karnataka, Suvarna News, Samaya, Kasturi and Janashree News channels, with each one trying new stratagem to garner public attention. Public TV which was went live on Februand 7 channels are now competing and combating with one another to climb to the top with ‘breaking news’ of every possible kind. All said and done, ultimately the question zeroes on not about this channel finding a niche but on whether it is going to make any difference at all. One-time firebrand journalist H R Ranganath being at the helm of affairs at Public TV has only added more nosiness and intensity to the existing fight for supremacy among channels for grabbing eyeballs.Įveryone is waiting with baited breath to know whether Ranganth’s name alone is suffice for the general public to sit up and take notice of Public TV and thus threaten the domination of TV9. With one more player in the market the fight for the top slot in the small screen is going to generate more heat and the clamor for ‘breaking news’ is sure to witness a new high (or is it low?). This debate has come to the fore with the recent addition of Public TV of former Kannada Prabha and Suvarna Channel’s News Editor H R Ranganth, to the existing stampede of channels. So for all those who still doubt whether there is space for one more news channel to make it 7 in all apart from the 11 general entertainment Kannada channels, it is only a matter of time before they are able to get an fitting answer.
Throwing aside this conventional wisdom Kannada News channels in the state have grown rapidly and there are additions to the existing ones which make the fight for supremacy for grabbing the viewer’s eyeballs quite a byzantine task if not an impossible one. The product in question here is the Kannada news channels that have mushroomed in our state and it would be preposterous to say the latest entrant into the field is not wise enough to enter into the already crowded market. But at the same time it is said that it is not wise decision to enter into a crowded market. Bangalore, Feb 27: It is simple economics that a good product is able to find a place for itself even when the market is overcrowded.
