The air is thick with rumours in Bangalore that Maharashtra Governor S.M. Krishna is getting into the media scene, through his son-in-law V.G. Siddhartha, who owns Coffee Day. Although nothing is firmed up yet, the plan is to prop up an afternoon newspaper that intends to take on Mid-Day which is due for launch any time now.
With the H.D. Deve Gowda khandaan also deciding to spend their hard-earned money in the media through Kumaraswamy's television channel Kannada Kasturi, a new ground seems to be set for the rivalry betweeen the State's two premier vokkaliga vamshas.
If this is true ..then its good fun ! SMKs have all the money amassed during their loot and run regime will come in handy. What better way than use of ill gotten money to get back at your rival !
Action time…look forward to it
Top 2 Vokkaliga vamshadavaru beedige barthare anni!
Barli bidi saar. Kannada people are sick of Hudaya Teevee from kongas, Eeeeeeeee Teevee from gultus and now one more from marwadi’s.
If Kumar wants kannada kasturi and the hardcore contributors of TV like TN seetharam, Ravi Belagere, Jayantha kaikini, Nagatihalli etc etc support him with nice interesting innovative programs: No reason why it can’t smell success.
But Devegowda should have the approcah of Maran’s in TN. He should bring any other son to handle TV and do not rely on Revu or Kumar.
Finance news paper is a nice venture and let us hope success for it.
on second thoughts…cant understand why will SMK group want to take on Mid Day to take on Gowdas ?? can anybody throw light ?
The war of the media has become an effective tool already in Tamil Nadu where DMK and AIADMK own SUN and JAYA t.v. respectively. After causing enough damage to the fabric of politics in this country, it is annoying to watch how parties use media so effectively as their campaign mechanism. Election Commission should take some effective action to curb the chaos, ownership of a medium by a political party creates.
