It may appear too hasty to call it a competition but given the short history of Indian television news channels and the lack of competition in English news, it is pertinent to make a judgement, howsoever, early it may be.
Prannoy Roy is a pioneer. Indeed. But his channel looks dull in front of Rajdeep's channel that is fresh. It may be that once the novelty dies with time, NDTV will stay the leader.
But the fact remains that a very tough competitor has arrived. Poonam Saxena wrote in HT that if she owned NDTV, she would have been really worried.
For viewers, it is good they have choice. But certainly CNN-IBN looks good. It is LESS LOUD and the anchors look friendly. No favoritism intended but....except when Prannoy Roy is on television, I don't feel NDTV has the edge. Isn't that funny. Even childish. But that's what I feel.
You see the same frame in both channels, the same shot but the quality of production, probably, it is better editing that makes Rajdeep's channel stand out. Or is it that the new channel has no advertisements and we are seeing nonstop news without interruptions that I like it. Frankly, I am confused that why I am liking IBN.
