Arnab Goswami to endorse Glycodin?

By A Conespondent

You don’t need to go too far to know that Arnab Goswami  is the No 1 news anchor.  If you start watching his nightly Newshour from the very beginning, you can’t miss the promos on how the show is the most popular and he’s the most trusted news presenter/editor/etc etc.

Keeping in mind his popularity, it is learnt from unconfirmed sources that Goswami has been approached by Alembic, the makers of Glycodin to endorse the cough syrup. Reasoning the choice, our source said: “Night after night, he shouts out loud and even though he’s speaking to a microphone, the fact that he does it every day is remarkable.”

According to the information received, Goswami refused to take up the offer initially. “I am able to retain my voice not because of cough syrups and Kanthils. It’s only because of the love of the nation, and because the nation wants me to ask questions,” he is said to have told the bestselling cough syrup’s brand manager.

What eventually clinched the contract was not the multi-crore endorsement cheque, and nor was it a lifelong supply of Glycodins, but the assurance that the adline will say: “This is what I recommend to all my guests on show who need to shout out loud and have to leave the show coughing!”
