Even as per the CEO of ABP News, Avinash Pandey,” First, there will be very heavy consumption of news, driven by the general elections and the Cricket World Cup. Hence, news and sports will be the dominant players in the television space in the coming three quarters. Second, the way we consume television at home will change as all leading broadcasters will be going for digital experiments. And with data cost going down, a lot of VOD players will grow, even in the news category. Third, there will be some mergers and acquisitions in the country as a change in environment, brought about by the new tariff and regulatory order, will not allow a lot of inefficient players to continue in the business”.
