Star, Zee set up separate sales team after Media Pro break-up

29 May 2014

MediaPro was set up between Zee Turner Ltd and Star Den Media Services Pvt. Ltd to jointly distribute their channel bouquets.

Broadcasters Star India Pvt. Ltd and Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd have set up independent sales teams for their respective channels after the break-up of their three-year-old distribution venture Media Pro Enterprises India Pvt. Ltd.

MediaPro was set up between Zee Turner Ltd and Star Den Media Services Pvt. Ltd to jointly distribute their channel bouquets. The joint venture was dissolved in April, following a change in regulations notified by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) to disallow aggregation of channels of multiple broadcasters in one bouquet.

Both Star and Zee have been beefing up their independent sales teams. Turner will continue to distribute their channels with Zee, said Punit Goenka, managing director and chief executive officer, ZEE, in an earlier interview.

Is the Media in trouble? Mumbai Press Club holds discussion on subject

Uday Shankar, Star India CEO said, “Just because the media has become capital-intensive, doesn’t mean that it has to compromise on your integrity. Every business has to have a value system, and the editor needs to be sensitive to that. Journalists need to wake up to the economic reality, and it can’t be denied. On the other hand, those who recognise that are willing to swing to the other extreme and do anything. That also is neither healthy nor sustainable.”
