Also see the biased media. Zee News, India TV were always biased to BJP, after Network 18 was taken over by Mr. Mukesh Ambani now it has also become biased to BJP and bu the way ETV News channels are also part of Network18 incase u don't know. Aaj Tak too tilts towards BJP. ABP News is somewhat neutral. NDTV, India News, News X, Headlines Today r Pro Congress................

I think Network 18 decided to become pro-Modi since Ambani takeover.........But otherwise IBN channels are pro-American & anti-national.......AFAIK Ambani just controls 26% in Network 18 news channels....remaining stake is with American company Viacom.....

Bro, u r getting confused between Network18 and Viacom18. Network 18 is fully owned by Mr. Ambani now, This network was started by Raghav Behl and there were amny investors in it and Mr. Ambani saved this company when it contsntly ran in losses. For more details, search on th net u will get the complete info. Network18 has channels like CNN IBN, IBN7, CNBC Awaaz, CNBC TV18, ETV New Channels while on the other hand they r in partnership with Viacom for running channels like MTV, Colors, Nick, Sonic, Nick Junior, VH1 etc. While on the former Network18 has full control, in the Viacom deal they have some strategic partnership just like they partnership with Time Warner for using CNN brand name in CNN IBN or running Historytv18 in partnership with A+E Networks.

Also don't confuse Junior Ambani ''BIG'' Network Channels with Senior Ambani's Network18. Mr. Anil Ambani ran channels like Prime, Love and Spark with CBS which flopped, similarly their partnership with RTL ended in july for BIG RTL Thrill. Now he runs his own channels like BIG Magic, BIG Magic Ganga.

Also i would like to tell you that Viacom has a partnership with HBO for movies made by their studio and Sony too had it until Sony launched their own English Movie Channel. UTV shares a cordial relation with Viacom18 and shows most Viacom18 Movies as the Vicom18 does not have a movie channel. I can write an article on how movies r shared between channels but let it be for some other day.

Junior Ambani also owns Dreamworks Hollywood Studios while Senior Ambani owns IMG

Actually whole 18 Group is JV of American based Groups. Viacom 18 - Network 18 and Viacom, TV 18 - Network 18 and NBC Universal, IBN 18 - Network 18 and CNN,only News 18, Web 18 and Homeshop 18 is fully own by Reliance.

Reliance only purchase Raghav Bahl's Part but didn't purchase the other part of share.

I think except ETV channels rest all channels are running by staff of collaboration. Infact ETV channels use News 18 website and soon gonna revamp as News 18 channels. So Basically Ambani fully control ETV channels and rest by partnership.

I watch B4U Movies, Enterr10, Cinema TV, Zee Cinema, &Pictures more than Star Gold, Movies OK, Sony Max bcoz the latter show crap Dubbed South Indian Movies most of the time while the former show Bollywood Movies most of the time specially from 70's to Early 2000's when Bollywood made good movies with Proper Stories, Screenplay, Melodious Music, Great Direction and above all Awesome Acting.

Anyways i am watching Style on B4U Movies. Tune in and enjoy if u r bored right now.

Tats right I think all Sandi Sudha, Hanuman Chalisha channels shows very less South Dubb channels but SONY MAX and STAR is full time run that only, SONY MAX 2, ZEE Classic is a pure channel and except ZEE Premiere other ZEE channels shows less south movies and & Pictures have a now a combination of Hollywood Dub so increased the taste. Also Dhamaal, Ashirwaad Classic is a brilliant channel run movies with one break and ad free resp.

So basically all -18 group companies are Indian to some extent partly owned by Mukesh Ambani but Viacom is american.....
Mukesh Ambani controls all these News channels to some extent & majority ownership is of Viacom.........
Thus majority editorial control is from Viacom............

Why you combining news channels with entertainment channel infact History Channel is also a separate entity.

To be precise ETV channels fully owned by Mukesh Ambani, IBN and CNBC channels own by NBC and Network 18 and rest Viacom and Network 18, History A + E and Network 18.

So Mukesh Ambani can do whatever he wants to do in ETV channels but rest of news channel decides by in partnership.
