India TV : The news channel

India TV, the news channel I used to watch and watch regularly has lots its direction and sense for the moment. Thats my personal opinion. I don't mean offend anybody except the creative (infact the whole team) of India TV. From the morning till the evening, there are only two things which come non-stop. One is their every popular and active "Breaking News" and then comes their non-stop commentary on reality shows. The clips of which have been taken from the TV channels. what is happening is that the TV channels are promoting their reality shows non-stop on a news channel, which is willing to do so. They simply have no news. Cricket comes in because of IPL, again the same bla bla on every channel. An astrology Baba come at 11:30 on the channel. He looks more like a tantrik giving some views which can only be heard if you are super attentive. But their breaking news breaks every hope of INDIA TV being a news channel. How can a TV news channel continuously give breaking news for two hours (9:00 to 11:30 pm). The news really sucks. There is nothing so breaking about it.

Arnab Goswami, the star of Indian news television

This time it is the super Mc TV with extra cheese.
Yes. Super Mc TV is Mr Arnab Goswami, who with his level headed skill and an anchoring personality has brought in people like me to watch a news channel regularly. The MTV goers like me were hooked up to a news channels just because of the amazing presentation and some very good content. You don't need to be formal cos its frankly speaking with Arnab. Check out more about Arnab.

Todays hot news channel


The hot news channels of today which are too many and too hot to handle. So what has changed in the past few years in news channels.

Anchors-yes
Presentation-yes
Over-hyped content-Yes

What else: They are capturing the market of the people who seldom used to watch news.

The increased crime rate, terrorism, nature attack and the over cooked stories have made them the prime time channel of the modern era. The content is there, but still it is not. Cos its just not news.

Todays news channel is all about
Celeb gossip
Scoops and scandals
Breaking news (what the f#@%, every damn news is made breaking)
Repetition
And loads of other crap...
But yes there are still which good anchors, personalities and some useful content.
