The Telugu electronic news media is passing through troubled times. Falling TRPs, lack of interest in news over entertainment, political biases of the channels and rising costs are hitting the TV industry very hard. There is bad news after bad news from the electronic media .
If sources are to be believed, another Telugu news channel is likely to down the curtains. Prime 9 TV channel is said to be passing through tough times. For the past several months, the staff members are not being paid salaries. Several employees are on long leave and are not cooperating with the managements. Several cameramen are said to have taken away valuable equipment with them due to non-payment of salaries.
Sources say that several cases have been filed against the management over non-payment of salaries. The employees have accused the management of collecting funds in the name of special functions during the Corona. Though funds were collected, no programme was ever organised.
Sources say that the channel is already overburdened with borrowings. The payment of interest on the loans too was proving to be a problem. It remains to be seen how the management will chart out the course through the troubled waters.
