TV9 competes with Sakshi to praise Jagan policies

Number 1 Telugu news channel, TV9, is transforming into a non-aggressive, biased media after the change of management. This is happening along expected lines as the channel slipped into the hands of real estate giant and top contractors lobby which is friendly to CM Jaganmohan Reddy. Especially, TV9 is heaping lots of excessive praise on YCP Circar and struggling very hard to project Jagan Reddy’s extremely controversial policies in a much positive light. In the process, the channel is becoming a laughing stock and especially it is getting very bad image in social media.

Many past admirers are now calling TV9 as Sakshi-2 and part of Jagan Media dedicated to praising YCP programmes endlessly. In the good old days, Ex CEO Ravi Prakash took all the care to balance its controversial news coverage. No political party owned it up. Sometimes, YCP used to call it a pro-TDP channel and vice versa. RP used to criticize and attack all parties in an issue-based manner. His only target was TRP ratings. Accordingly, the channel flourished equally well. The present management has totally changed TV9 coverage. The channel eventually became the voice of Jagan Regime rather than the voice of the people.

Media watch: TV9 ‘Mukhamukhi’ program turns pale without Jaffer

Media watch: TV9 ‘Mukhamukhi’ program turns pale without Jaffer

It is known news that news reporter Jaffer left the TV9 channel recently and ‘Mukha Mukhi’ program, which brought him a lot of fame is now handled by another lady journalist. But it looked like the program became pale without Jaffer. Details as below.

‘Mukha Mukhi’ and Jaffer:

‘Mukha Mukhi’ is one of the popular programs in TV9 and reporter Jaffer became popular in both the Telugu states with that show. When Jaffer handled the show, politicians, sometimes, used to leave the show abruptly as they could not answer the questions put forward by him. The bravery displayed by Jaffer was appreciated by many. However, as everyone knows, Jaffer had to resign from the TV9 channel as management has issues with him. Reportedly, the new management did not like it when Jaffer met former TV9 CEO Ravi Prakash and sought an explanation from him, As they were not satisfied with the explanation, they forced him to resign from the channel.

‘Mukha Mukhi’ after Jaffer:

Lady journalist Haseena now entered the shoes of Jaffer. She interviewed Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy, who has landed in controversy recently after a woman officer complained against him. Some people are calling him ‘Chintamaneni of YSRCP’ already. CM Jagan allowed police to file cases on Kotamreddy, but political opponents criticized that the cases filed on him are very weak cases. Given this background, anchor handling ‘Mukhamukhi’ program with him should have completely embarrassed him by asking the right questions and, more importantly, by countering all his answers. But that did not happen. Haseena, the lady anchor who handled the show after Jaffer left, did ask some right questions but obviously those questions were prepared beforehand. When it comes to countering the answers given by politicians (Sridhar Reddy in this case), she did not come any closer to Jaffer. Despite having some video proofs of Kotamreddy threatening officials, she could not embarrass him anytime during the interview. Even though she tried to emulate Jaffer at times, by asking questions like ‘do you see any cauliflower in my ears’, which are trademark dialogues of Jaffer, she could not make the interview powerful. In fact, by the end of the show, it looked like Sridhar Reddy was able to prove his upper hand over the reporter in this show.

We will have to wait and see whether this program will regain its popularity without Jaffer.

V6 Sathi’s new avatar on TV9 begets mixed reactions

At a time when the anchor of V6 channels ‘Teenmaar’ program, Siva Jyothy aka Savitri left for Bigg Boss 3, the program’s real showstopper Bithri Sathi moved to another news channel. A week ago he surprised everyone by joining TV9 as he shared a picture where he is collecting an appointment letter from TV9 Rajnikanth.

From last couple of days, Sathi is appearing on TV9 as ‘Ismart Sathi’, a new segment that will feature him cracking jokes in the Telangana accent he speaks with. Introducing him to the world on the eve of Vinayaka Chavithi, this program got launched. So what is the first take of people on this new program featuring Sathi?

First of all, getting connected to a Telangana slang anchor/host on TV9 is a big deal because the channel never used such stuff earlier. Now that the channel is owned by businessmen who back TRS party, one can understand why Bithri Sathi turned Ismart Sathi for them, but his jokes lacked that previous punch we must say.

The choice of news Satthi speaks about and the careful satires are yet to catch the pulse of audiences as they lacked that vigour they used to have when the comedian is in V6. For now, the show has begotten only mixed reactions from all quarters.

We will have to wait and see whether Barun Das will bring any revolutionary changes and whether he will gel well with the new management.

Ravi Prakash to start a new channel soon

Ravi Prakash, former CEO of TV9 is contemplating to start a new channel on his own. He has already started groundwork on the same. As per Ravi Prakash offline statements, there is huge gap in current Telugu media as all the channels are pro-government and no channel is strongly questioning the governments of Telugu states. Details as below.

It is known news that, after the change of the management, the relation between the management and then CEO Ravi Prakash turned sour as the management alleged Ravi Prakash is not allowing them to take over full control of the channel. On the other hand, Ravi Prakash still has 10% stake in the channel and approached NCLT through actor Sivaji (who became popular with Operation Garuda theory last year) to protect his rights a minor stakeholder.

Meanwhile, the latest update is that Ravi Prakash has started groundwork to start a new channel. Knowing this, many investors approached him and expressed their willingness to invest in his project. However, Ravi Prakash is cautious on selecting his investors so that he will have all the freedom in the channel even at later point of time.

Wee will have to wait and see by when will this channel be materialized.

TV 9 Ravi Prakash do or die battle with My Home Rameswara Rao

The battle of egos knows no limits. TV 9 Ravi Prakash is like a wounded tiger whose war will stop at nothing less than personal satisfaction. Now, he got the much-needed support from the Delhi powers. Being a popular TV news journalist, he has huge contacts everywhere. This is what corporate giant My Home Rameswara Rao failed to realise what can be the potential of the common man. No doubt, by comparison, Rameswara Rao is much taller figure than Ravi Prakash. But that is only till the Delhi powers favoured him and his protector KCR.

In the corporate war, Ravi Prakash has enough knowledge of inside irregularities to shake up the TV 9 new management consisting of Rameswara Rao and Megha Krishna Reddy. But, Rao used his influence with KCR and filed cases against Ravi Prakash who appeared to have lost the game initially. But the real game started now. The IT raids began on Rao. It is s seen as the tip of an iceberg. Rumours are that Ravi Prakash has got blessings from the Delhi powers. The TV 9 former CEO is expected to take the fight to its logical conclusion. He has already shared TV 9 internal information like use of black money with the constitutional bodies in Delhi. Right now, the common media man has got some upper hand over the new media moghul.

TV9 former CEO Ravi Prakash today presented himself before cyber crime police. Recent Supreme court order, that is seen as jolt to Raviprakash, seems to have forced him to present himself before the police.

Ravi Prakash ‘Golmaal’: selling TV9 logo rights & diverting ads to Mojo

New details are coming out regarding various fraudulent activities done by TV9 former CEO Ravi Prakash after the copies of police complaint and FIR came out. As per complaint filed by the new management of TV9 against Ravi Prakash, the two main complaints against Ravi Prakash are selling TV9 logo To Mojo TV mala fide intention & diverting TV9 ads to Mojo TV. Details of Police complaint as below.

Against whom:

  • V. Ravi Prakash,
  • M.V.K.N Murthy
  • Hari Kiran Chereddi (Mojo TV)

What are complaints:

  • Fabrication of documents,
  • cheating,
  • criminal breach of trust
  • Causing wrongful loss to the company (in order to cause wrongful gain to other company)

Selling TV9 logo to Mojo TV for 99,00/-

As per the police complaint by Alanda media, Ravi Prakash sold TV9 logo rights to Mojo TV for 99,000 Rs and that transaction also shown wrongly in the records. As per the complaint by Alanda media to police- “We submit that said two persons being the Directors of the company having felt that they are going to lose control over the Board of the company, created and executed a Deed of Assignment dated: 31-12-2018 allegedly transferring the copy rights and registered trade mark No. 16036317, TV-9 of the company and other Trade Marks of the Company in favor of Media Nxt India Pvt Ltd, in which said Sri. Hari Kiran Chereddi is having vested interest, for a alleged consideration of Rs.99,000/-. On verification of records the alleged payment of Rs.99,000/- was made by Media NXT India (P) Ltd to ABCL for other repairs and maintenance expenses on 22-01-2019 and recorded in the books on 28-02-2019. The said payment of was wrongfully shown as consideration for the trademarks and copy rights.”

Diverting TV9 ads to Mojo TV:

Now, the allegation is, by showing Mojo TV also ‘part of TV9 group’, Ravi Prakash diverted the ads worth of 32 crores to Mojo TV. There have been rumors that Ravi Prakash has some vested interests in Mojo TV and has even invested in Mojo TV. Now the latest allegations are in sync with those rumors. And, this is definitely criminal breach of trust as Ravi Prakash used his position as CEO of TV9 to benefit other company/ channel Mojo TV at the cost of causing wrongful loss to TV9. Moreover, all this transaction happened without the knowledge of 90% stakeholders.

Frivolous case at NCLT to hide all these wrongdoings?

Alanda media also observed that Ravi Prakash entered into agreement with actor Shivaji (more popularly known as Garuda Shivaji in recent times) with ante-date documents only to file some frivolous case at NCLT so that it will cause hindrance to the new management in their proceedings. The police complaint by Alanda media notes, ” We submit that Sri. V. Ravi Prakash and Sri. M.V.K.N Murthy created an ante-dated Share purchase agreement between Sri. V. Ravi Prakash and one Sri. S. Shivaji and on that basis initiated a frivolous litigation before the National company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Hyderabad Bench and the same was already brought to the notice of Cyber Crime Police Station, Cyberabad Cammissionerate by M/s Alanda Media wherein FIRs vide Nos 84/2019, 87/2019 U/Sec 406, 420, 467, 471, 120 (B) IPC and 66, 72 of IT Act were booked and the investigation is in process. On further verification of records it was also noticed that Mr. Hari Kiran Chereddi is also involved in this conspiracy and thus requesting for investigation.”

Overall:

It looks like Ravi Prakash has breached the trust by selling TV9 logo rights to Mojo and by diverting the ads to Mojo. Moreover, creating ante-dated documents with the purpose of some wrongful gains is considered as serious crime in corporate law. We will have to wait and see on further updates on this case.

Ravi Prakash has no option but to start new channel?

TV 9 former CEO Ravi Prakash is standing at the cross roads. This is something not easy to digest for a professional who has worked hard for a decade and a half to make TV 9 what it is today. He has been levelling allegations against the Alanda Media and My Home Chairman Jupalli Rameswara Rao that they have conspired to take away the channel from his control. Still, Ravi Prakash has explained his emotional attachment and his desire to conduct shows for TV 9.

However, the new management is not at all interested in continuing or allowing Ravi Prakash to conduct shows on TV 9. They have made this clear already and they reiterated the same several times. It is because of this he has hinted at starting his own channel with the same determination to develop it.

TV industry is full of speculation that Ravi Prakash would have no chance left but to open his channel now. They are also saying TV 9 former CEO has taken it as a prestigious issue and he has already got a good forum to develop his new channel.

Allegations on Ravi Prakash — What is his camp saying?

TV9 CEO Ravi Prakash’s issue has been dominating the news cycle for last few days. After Ravi Prakash has resigned from TV9, people are curious to know his whereabouts and also about a bunch of allegations were levied against former CEO of Tv9.There has been no response from Ravi Prakash’s camp and this has caused a one way news cycle without any reponse from other party. Telugu360 tried to get in touch with some current employees of TV9 to get other side of the coin

Allegation -1 : Ravi Prakash forged  company secretary Devender Agarwal’s signature 

Rebuttal – Devender Agarwal has resigned as company secretary of ABCL on March 28th 2019 . TV9 directors approved his resignation after multiple requests from Devender. Ravi Prakash’s camp alleges that directors made a futile attempt to upload new directors through Devender Agarwal, at 2:30 AM in the morning, but were unsuccessful as his resignation was already in effect. Ravi Prakash camp alleges that the new management updated directors through backdoor method. Where is the case for forgery here asks Ravi Prakash’s camp? In fact, they contend that it is new management team that has to be under the scanner as they updated new directors through backdoor.

Allegation – 2 : Share transfer agreement with Sivaji 

Rebuttal – Share transfer agreement between Sivaji and Ravi Prakash is a completely private party transaction. Ravi Prakash’s camp argues how does it matter to new directors on how this transaction was executed. It could have been just a word of mouth, white paper or demat and it is completely up to the two persons involved in the transaction on how they want to execute this.

Allegation – 3: Funds transfer to MOJO TV

Rebuttal — Marketing team in TV9 tell telugu360 that there was an official agreement between TV9 and MOJO TV and since TV9 is the No #1 Telugu channel it frequently has ‘spill overs’. In these cases, TV9 sells these additional ad inventory to MOJO TV at a 10% commission. Today tv9 owes payments to MojoTV. The TV9 team also informed that MOJO TV management was very upset with such false and baseless allegations where the transaction was fully documented on both sides.

Allegation – 4: TV9 Bharatvarsh funds 

Rebuttal — Ravi Prakash’s team tell that they were able to launch Bharatvarsh with half the budget they initially projected. In fact, Ravi Prakash team contends that they were able to bring buzz to the channel by inviting Modi to inauguration due to Ravi’s connections.

Also, Ravi Prakash’s camp contends that they were blindsided by myhome’s investment into TV9. Megha  approached Ravi Prakash with a minority investment into TV9 and later Myhome related persons entered into the deal contents Ravi Prakash’s team.

Will Ravi Prakash come out and tell his side of the story ? Wait and watch in next few days.

TV 9 Ravi Prakash went underground?

The Cyberabad police special team and crime team launched a manhunt for TV 9 former CEO Ravi Prakash. They have tried to contact him but all his cell phones are switched off for the last few days. Once again, the police teams enquired at his residence and with his friends who said they were not given any information about where he has gone.

The Telangana police are investigating a case of forgery filed against Ravi Prakash who in turn accused his opponents of hatching systematic conspiracy to remove him from the organisation that grew enormously with his hard work. The new management has asserted that Ravi Prakash is just like any other share holder but he is creating hurdles in the transition of management.

Ravi Prakash lawyer has contacted the Cyberabad police and asked for 10 days time. The police already questioned TV9 former CFO Murthy. They are also giving notices to actor turned activist Shivaji who is also not turning up for police questioning.

Buzz – Ravi Prakash and Team to be forced out of TV9!!

As we have been exclusively reporting, TV9 top management crisis has been escalated to a point of no return. The consequences may lead to departing of founder team of TV9 very soon from the firm.

After acquiring majority stake in ABCL ( Parent group of TV9) , Megha Constructions Krishna Reddy and MyHome Group Rameswara Rao have replaced four of the board members ( which were earlier held by Srini Raju’s iLab) recently. Reportedly Jagapathi Rao Jupally, Sangu Samba Siva Rao, A. Srinivasa Rao, P. Kaushik Rao are the new directors. Ravi Prakash, Clifford Pereira and Murthy are the other three from the old team , still remaining in the board.

From inception of TV9 , major stake holder Srini Raju ( 80% stake ) never involved in editorial affairs , Ravi Prakash had complete control over the channel operations as well as editorial programming . But , it has been reliably learnt that new board has started muddling in the editorial affairs a lot to the dislike of Ravi Prakash.

It has been reliably learnt that , as per NCLT ruling related to Saif Partners, there shouldn’t be any changes to Board of TV9 ‘s parent company ABCL. Ravi Prakash has now approached court claiming the changes in the board is illegal. As Ravi Prakash is a minority stakeholder, there is every possibility that he and his team might be forced out of TV9. According to our highly placed sources , this might happen as soon as in next few weeks. A high profile meeting with a key person in TG government might decide the fate.

We’ll have to wait and see if TV9 can continue to hold it’s numero uno position if Ravi Prakash’s team exits. Unarguably Ravi Prakash is the mastermind behind the TV9’s rise and continuation of it’s numero uno status.

Uttam Kumar Reddy fires on TV9 for telecasting CPS survey

Yesterday, TV9 telecast a survey done by an institute called CPS (Center for Psphological Studies). This survey predicted 94-104 seats for TRS and 16-21 seats for Praja Kootami led by Congress. (Click here for : CPS Survey predicts 94-104 to TRS: how far it will impact voters?). Later, TV9 took Uttam Kumar Reddy on phone line and sought his response on this CPS survey.

Uttam Kumar Reddy fired on TV9 and told TV9 is becoming worse than T-news channel owned by KCR asTV9 is openly supporting TRS. Uttam called this CPS survey as bogus survey and CPS as well as TV9 were bribed by TRS to influence Telangan voters. He challenged TV9 and asked whether TV9 will shut their office if TRS doesn’t get 94-104 seats as predicted by CPS survey. He questioned TV9 for telecasting such baseless story just couple of days before the elections and asked what is the intention of TV9 in telecasting this story. He also lambasted psephologist from CPS and told these people are sold out to KCR.

Whether this CPS survey will turn true or not will be known in a span of a week.

It’s official. TV9 into hands of ‘My home’ Rameshwar Rao

The news of TV9 ownership change has been in the news for last few months. After Srini Raju, who has most of the stakes in the channel, decided to exit the venture, many investors came forward to have some stakes in this channel. As of now it is confirmed that Rameshwar Rao, owner of My home group, officially took over part of the stakes.

It is known news that, Rameshwar Rao is very good friend of TRS supremo KCR. So there have been predictions that the channel will turn completely pro- TRS party. However, at this moment, there is no change in editorial policy or no significant organisational changes in the channel.

So, at this moment, there will not be any major shift in the way channel is handling its news and analysis. But it looks like there will be a gradual change in the channel and it will slowly but surely turns into a pro TRS channel.

TV9 avoids PK speeches, but promptly telecasts TDP counters

TV9 today telecast Chandra Babu’s response on Pawan’s sensational comments about somebody conspiring to kill him. It also telecast response of other TDP leaders like Prattipati Pulla Rao, Chintamaneni and Babu Rajendra Prasad on Pawan statements.

Chandrababu responded to Pawan comments and said that there is police system in the country and one has to believe in the system. He also added that, his government doesn’t spare anyone if they try to create unrest in society. He also told, it is not correct on the part of Pawan Kalyan to make such comments.

Chintamaneni earlier reacted strongly to Pawan’s comments and challenged him to contest against him. He also reacted to “Assembly Rowdy” comment on him saying he will also win again like Shivaji (Mohan Babu character name in Assembly rowdy movie) from his constituency. Later, Babu Rajendra Prasad and Prattipati Pulla Rao also reacted very strongly to Pawan’s comments. All these statements found good coverage in TV9. It is very much understandable political parties reacting strongly against the comments made by political opponents.

However, TV9, which claims itself working for better society, completely avoiding giving coverage to one political party but promptly telecasting counter comments on that party is surprising. TV9 is not at all covering Pawan Kalyan meetings and his speeches either through Live or through recorded videos. In fact it is not even giving scrolling about Pawan Kalyan statements during his public meetings. If TV9 is mentioning something about Pawan Kalyan, you can make sure that it is about ruling party leaders condemning his statements.

If TV9 really wants to avoid Pawan Kalyan completely from their channel, they can avoid Pawan Kalyan comments as well as the counter comments on him by the ruling party. Long back, Eenadu used to avoid Dasari Narayana Rao name completely in their newspaper as well as in the ETV. In fact while telecasting movies in ETV, it used to cut the titles frame in which Dasari Narayana Rao name is mentioned as writer and director. Eenadu avoided both positive as well as negative news on Dasari Narayana Rao for a while. But what TV9 is doing is different – it is completely avoiding positive news as well as plain reporting of Pawan Kalyan statements. But it is very promptly telecasting when other party leaders make scathing comments on Pawan Kalyan or janasena.

In fact TV9 did similar strategy in 2008 and 2009 during PRP times. It used to completely avoid Chiranjeevi meetings or his comments but promptly telecast counter comments by the leaders of then ruling Congress Party. We will have to wait and see how people will respond on the selective coverage and selective presentation of TV9 (in case of Pawan Kalyan).

TV9 Srini Raju himself giving leaks to media?

Leading dailies have been publishing news about Srini Raju exiting TV9 and selling-off his stakes in the channel. Recently an English daily published news that Megha Engineering and MyHome have picked up nearly 80% stake held by Srini Raju owns TV9. The daily also added that the company was valued at Rs 456 crore for the transaction. However, here is an interesting update about this.

As per sources, till now, no financial transaction has happened regarding this as published by many dailies. It’s still in discussion stage. Finalization of this deal might not happen till mid of the next month also. It seems, TV9 CEO Ravi Prakash is still trying to work with some big investors as the deal with MyHome and Megha not yet closed.

However, all these dailies are getting these leaks from none other than Srini Raju himself. He is giving leaks to media as he wants to get out of this venture as soon as possible. So, while Ravi Prakash is still trying for a better deal, Srini Raju wants to close the deal asap and giving leaks to media that deal is already over. It is not sure why he wants to finalize this at the earliest, but it is for sure media houses getting these leaks straight from the horse mouth.

TV9 interviewed Pawan without revealing channel identity?

Pawan Kalyan yesterday visited Kurnool quarry blast victims and he attacked CM Chandrababu Naidu while speaking to media. However one interesting thing happened yesterday. Pawan Kalyan video byte responding to the questions of journalist appeared in Tv9 yesterday. By seeing this interview of Pawan Kalyan in Tv9, audience were surprised because he didn’t give any interview to TV9 after he slammed media channels for attacking him and his family personally. In fact, some of Janasena fans blocked TV9 after Pawan called for that.

Couple of days back also Pawan Kalyan was seen asking TV9 camera person to go back and let other channels cameras (read it 99tv) come to the front line. The video that captured this incident happened during ‘Pingali venkayya program’ went viral on social media. Even earlier also, similar thing happened. During his North Andhra tour, ( at Vizag Shipyard) when Pawan Kalyan was speaking holding mikes of some news channels, TV9 reporter came to Pawan and asked him to hold TV9 mike too, but Pawan ignored him.

With this background, Pawan giving interview to TV9 channel surprised audience. Janasena fans, miffed with this, contacted Janasena media in-charge people. But janasena sources said that that reporter who interviewed Pawan did not reveal his identity that he is from TV9. Moreover, the mike he is holding also doesn’t have the logo of TV9. Usually any bite taken by TV9 reporters will have TV9 logo on the mike. So, it seems TV9 reporter took the interview of Pawan Kalyan without revealing his identity.
