Article Zee Telugu News channel to be shut down

[Technoglitch]

ZeeNews Ltd(ZNL) is retreating the Telugu news market. Zee 24 Gantalu has decided to close down next month as it found too many politically-oriented channels operating in a crowded marketplace.
"24 Gantalu will close down on 20 September. There are 14 Telugu news channels operating in that market and two more are launching. They are politically driven and it does not make sense to continue in that market," a source familiar with the development said.
