Fissures @ NTV

Narendranath Choudhury’s NTV has started off on the wrong foot!

I Satyanarayana, among the first to join NTV, has walked out. He resigned on Sunday (!) evening (thank you, mailer). There is no news on why IS left or where he is headed and multiple versions are doing the rounds!

The exit of a core team member even before the launch of the channel belies assessment that NTV, which has recruited a team of seniors, would have a head start. On the contrary, IS resignation might spell trouble — journalists planning to join the place would think twice now, nay, may even make a hasty retreat. After all, AP Media is rich in examples of false starts and short-lived experiments. What’s more, none wants to risk being nowhere when the coveted house plots are about to be allotted!

The latest development has also given scope for guesswork — doubts are being raised about team spirit among the top guns at NTV. Talk is that KSR, the bulldozer, railroaded his proposal to rope in his protégé Yadagiri Reddy. That had upset a few. And there are some in the competition who see the latest development at NTV as the thin end of the wedge! Let’s see how it plays out.
