Yes you have heard it right; After Sony TV, Zee TV is all set
to launch a new channel which will have new fictional serials. The parent channel
is going to give a tough competition to Sony TV who is also set to launch its new
channel by next month.
Our source says, "Zee wanted to launch its new channel since
long but now that Sony has already set the time of its new venture, Zee is
going to wait patiently and launch its channel by August or November. Nothing
has been decided on the launch date."
Zee is already coming up with Zindagi, how different will be
this new channel from the latter? "Zindagi has the stories featuring from Pakistan
where as the new channel will have stories by Indian producers. The difference
is going to be that there won't be daily soaps in it. It will consist of
different series with limited episodes like Games of Throne. At least that's what
I've heard," adds the source.
"Zee has started taking auditions for the shows which will
feature on their new channel. Though they are trying very hard to keep things
under wrap as till the official announcement, Zee doesn't want to disclose
about their big launch," concludes the source.
Well it's going to be interesting to see the competition
between two main GEC channels. Now only time will decide of who wins the race?
We wish them luck.

Lol Zee has gone mad kya ?? Why are they taking such a risk. ...What if the new channel clicks with Audeince and then their own shows loyal viewers will start shifting to new Channel...It is rather better to start new shows on current channel only ...As such there is nothing much exciting in current fiction line up of Zee

I am waiting for Zindagi channel to start the Pakistani shows have such a fresh & beautiful feel. Really heard looking forward tozindagi gulzar hai & aunn zara. & the best thing is that these shows Air for just 20 - 25 episode which is just amazing.

i hope these 2 channels bring in some positive change to indian tv viewing. how long will they bore us with their OTT rona-dhonas of gopi bahus n aksharas n the simars... it seems indian tv is still stuck in the 18th century...plz plz get some sane n watchable shows... it is funny how everything else is copied from the west but when it comes to good entertainment, they refuse to cater to the sensibilities of the modern generation...instead of showing cheap n slapstick comedy in adapted versions of famous reality shows, they should try to take the right 'inspiration' from their shows...even if copied, at least people will find an inclination to watch them!
