  • Zee decided to come up with an alternative which will just give news, without any views

    Zee Hindustan goes anchor-less

    By A Correspondent

     

    Zee Media Corporation announced last week that its Hindi news channel, Zee Hindustan, would function without any anchor.

     

    “The anchors who appear on news channels often appear to give colour to a particular story. The viewers who really want to follow, or just know about the news are left with no choice but to watch that anchor. We at Zee sensed this urgency and decided to come up with an alternative which will just give news, without any views. And this is how Zee Hindustan was born,” said Zee group chairman and Rajya Sabha MP Dr Subhash Chandra.

     

    Added Ashok Venkatramani, MD, ZMCL: “The country is heading towards the biggest election battle. In a forced opinionated environment, Zee Hindustan will definitely break the clutter and create a niche for itself amongst viewers. The news in purest form and variety of content will put the channel apart from others”.

     

    Said Purushottam Vaishnav, Editor-in-Chief of the channel: “It has been a strenuous two-month journey for all of us and my team did a commendable job in launching this channel in such a brief time. Zee Hindustan will give you news, without any views.”

    Zee Media Corporation Ltd launched Zee Hindustan, a 24×7 Hindi news channel with a focus on news from various states without restricting itself only to New Delhi or metropolitan cities. Speaking on the new channel, Jagdeesh Chandra, Executive Director & CEO Regional Channels, ZMCL said: “In the present scenario, where other news channel from all the languages are busy discussing the national capital priorities, there will be one channel which will discuss the state’s news affairs which can influence the centre. Why do states like Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Jharkhand and Assam not set Agendas in Delhi? The answer to these questions lie in Zee Hindustan, because we believe that states make the Nation.”

     

    Zee Hindustan’s programing lineup includes ‘11 pm CM’s Corner’ – a show that will broadcast stories of States’ Chief Ministers and the bureaucracy and a morning show that will offer a complete one hour show that will fill will offer hope, positivity and cast a ray of the new dawn every morning through your TV, notes a communique.
