Will TV9 Finally Fall In Place?
In telugu States, news channels exhibit significant polarization. After Megha Engineering india Limited (MEIL) acquired shares in tv9 and NTV, two of the major stations, the situation become even more ambiguous. Prior to the 2019 elections, tv9, the top channel in telugu at the time, was owned by MEIL and My home Group, a group very close to kcr, for over 200%. tv9 was then used as a spokesperson for the congress PARTY' target='_blank' title='ysr congress-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>ysr congress and BRS. NTV, the top telugu news channel right now, is owned by MEIL to the tune of 22.8%, with My home Group holding the remaining 11%.
Through these methods, they provided support to both governments, and as a result, they were awarded most of the contracts in both telugu States. NTV was never willing to commit. The Channel self-corrects in conjunction with the ruling party. Following the BRS loss, NTV attempted to portray itself as pro-Congress. In a public meeting, kcr brought up the channel publishing obituaries for his party. revanth reddy had a lunch meeting with NTV Chairman Narendranath Chowdary the other day. After the announcement, NTV is anticipated to adopt a neutral stance in andhra pradesh very soon.

According to the Electoral Bonds disclosed the other day, MEIL is the second-highest donor. The two largest winners are anticipated to be BRS and ysr Congress.
