Welcome to the new era of TV news journalism in South India as our netas don a new role of 'Editors-in-Chief' of their own news channels!

Though all the channels of these netas have a designated professional 'editor', it is anybody's guess as to who calls the shots in selecting and playing the news items. There really are too many such characters to talk about! And they are mushrooming like Congress grass everywhere.

If the news media is the fourth pillar of democracy, then there is no doubting the fact that in the four southern states, if not nationally across most of the regional television space, this pillar has gone into the hands of politicians or their proxies.

Setting up yet another first in the broadcasting industry in India, Dish TV today announced the launch of 30 individual channels in High Definition.
Dish TV now has an enhanced product portfolio of 267 channels in standard definition and 30 channels in high definition, which is substantially higher than any competing DTH operator in both HD as well as SD transmission.

Speaking on the occasion, Dish TV managing director Jawahar Goel said: "The availability of one or two HD channels on various platforms did not impact the market. Now, with the launch of 30 HD channels, Dish TV is officially scripting the HD revolution in India. Today, we are heralding a new era in Indian broadcasting and will build this category through content expansion, consumer education and high end product service."
