With an aim to improve its position in the south Indian market, Zee Entertainment Enterprises (Zeel) has decided to go in for a restructuring process to ensure better quality on its channel Zee Kannada. In line, a few changes have been made.

Two months ago, the then Zee Kannada business head Gautham Machaiah decided to leave Zeel. His replacement was south cluster sales head Siju Prabhakaran who was elevated to look after the channel too. A new programming head Raghavendra Hunsur was hired from ETV Kannada. The mandate was to spruce up the channel's shows and ratings.

Sources say that nearly 15 people from the production, programming and operation teams have since been asked to tender their resignations and have been offered a three month severance package. This includes professionals at both head of department level and the second level. They are being replaced with many more professionals who are being handpicked by Hunsur.
