Rajdeep Sardesai, NDTV and Broadcast News



Rajdeep Sardesai and NDTV

The fact that I do not watch television any longer meant I never came to know that Rajdeep Sardesai left NDTV way back in the month of April! He is planning to open his own news channel (sic) called Broadcast News with news more journalism driver (whatever that means). Now, he was one of the finer people in the NDTV Team whose USP was its team of reporters including Rajdeep. The departure is more than shocking news to me. Rediff claims that he left after he came to know that his salary figure was on the sixth number in the company… now that would have hurt bad for a guy with his reputation…

However, another news channel? For god sake, leave me alone.

    heh. when does ur mamu setup the tehelka television channel :-P

  3. paradise Says:

    lets face it guys, rajdeep is tops. and whats more, he’s practically cleaned ndtv out. he’s bringing some of their best guys into his channel

  4. Sushubh Says:

    right. i have a feeling too that prannoy is losing his focus and is getting too commercialised.

    Rajdeep sardesai & Pranav roy are the two sides of the same coin.
    their journalistic approach are purely money-oriented . their had never talk in hindi in
    STAR-NEWS but made themselves as a PRESIDENT (Pranav Roy) & MANAGING
    EDITOR (Rajdeep Sardesai) of NDTV INDIA(A hindi news channel).
    Both are great opportunist - under the roof of intellectuality they become a success-
    full businessman. so nothing would be harm to ndtv & pranav & rajdeep too.

    As a journalist I think Rajdeep is not better than me(particularly in hindi news).

  6. Paradise Says:

    And where are u from Neeraj? U sure dont sound like a journalist…specially if you think Pranoy and Rajdeep are the 2 sides of the same coin. They couldnt be more different in the way they function as journalists. So get ur facts straight befor u get so supercillious.

  7. neeraj k. verma Says:

    ICONS OF “STAR NEWS” BECOME THE PROMOTOR & MANAGING
    EDITOR OF “NDTV” AND NOW THE MANAGING EDITOR OF”NDTV”
    BECOME THE PROMOTER OF “BROADCASTNEWS” CHANNEL,
    ABOUT “BROADCASTNEWS” RAJDEEPJI SAYS THAT IT WOULD BE
    A JOURNALIST-DRIVEN CHANNEL.
    ARE YOU LISTENING PRANAV ROYJI ? IS “NDTV” NOT A JOURNA-
    LIST-DRIVEN CHANNEL ?
    RAJDEEPJI WHEN YOU WERE IN NDTV’S DRIVING SEAT,THEN
    WHY YOU DRIVED “NDTV” CHANNEL IN A “NON-JOURNALIST-
    DRIVEN” MANNER ?
    RAJDEEP AND PRANAV -YOU BOTH HAVE POTENTIAL + ABILTY.
    BUT YOU BOTH ARE FAR AWAY FROM TOP INTERNATIONAL JOU-
    RNALIST,WHO KNOW THE MEANING OF POTENTIAL,ABILITY &
    OF COURSE–ITS UTILISATION.
    Neeraj k. verma (journalist)

  8. Sushubh Says:

    so why are you shouting it to me?

  9. neeraj k. verma Says:

    PARADISE-SUSHUBH
    You(both) put your views without analysing facts.
    there are so many journalists who are better than your heros(p&r),but
    I think you both belive in this sort of philosphy—————

    brand names always prevail over potential .ok guys –as u wish . but
    you know –equal opportunity decide–BEST or WORST.

    I am a journalist–so I know the meaning of opportunity & potential.

    this is an opportunity-which makes a man -BRANDNAME.

    Sonia gandhi :–Laluji aap bihar se garibi kyon nahi hatate hain ?

    Lalu :- Soniaji main garibon ka masiha hoon –aur agar garib hi
    nahi rahenge to hum masiha kiske rahenge .

    Sonia gandhi :- wah laluji - hum saman vichar walo ke vichar kitne
    milte julte hain– kyonki gandhi pariwar bhi hindustan
    ke garibon ka masiha hai.

    my(Neeraj’s comment):- allince will rule five years—no doubt.

  11. Santo.s Says:

    BAAP HO YA BHAIYA, SAB SE BADA RUPAIYA.

    Whether it is AMBANI’s
    Birla’s or Lodha’s
    Pranoy Roy or Rajdeep Sardesai

    They have twisted tongue’s, worse than that of LALOO.
    Politicians switch parties for money n power, so do journalist’s.

  12. neeraj k. verma Says:

    footloose

    TWO POLITICIANS WERE TALIKING ABOUT HONESTY.

  13. neeraj k. verma Says:

    CHECK MY ANSWERS

    WHO IS RESPOSIBLE FOR
    QU :- SAMRIDDHI , DEVELOPMENT,AWARENESS ——-ETC.
    ANS :- GANDHI FAMILY ?
    QU :- BUKH , BRASHTACHAR, GARIBI, BEROZGARI ,———ETC.
    ANS :- GANDHI FAMILY ?

  14. rajeev Says:

    No doubt every new channel could make a difference with its presence. I feel Rajdeep has done what and intelligent and opportunists person is supposed to do.
    I regret for the opinion Neeraj K Verma expressed about Rajdeep. I would like to thanks rajdeep for his adventure. New Hands and new minds definitely will bring out some good stories in the general interest of nation.
    As a journalist Mr. neeraj I feel I have done good stories, I have good ideas. But not everyone can be rajeev and neither U can be rajdeep nor rajdeep can thind to ur tune.
    So congratulate Rajdeep and Salute to his endeavour to serve though form different angle and perspective.
    Rajeev

    my wife gets to see more than twenty movie channels.but i get only fifteen news channels.do we have more sardesais and roys out there to start more news channels?

  16. Shiv Khatri Says:

    I think the step taken by Rajdeep is a natural grwoth phenomenon which any celebrity journalist goes through, remember Pranav leaving star and starting NDTV, whats wrong with Rajdeep, maybe next we will hear is Barkha starting channel 12 …… impossible is nothing…..

  17. vertigo Says:

    who cares,this is the media world,by rajdeep sardesai quitting ndtv is nothing gr8 people get new oppturnities ,so they decide to move on that is the blatant truth.
    how long they are off air is what matters ,in rajdeep sardesai`s case he has not at all lost over all he has only gained by starting his only channel.
    and every one is happy.

    smart people do things smart way, all the very best indians need media guys like u . hope u come up with news no one can discover and news of substance, becouse media has direct effect on the society and has the power to change (end of 18th century Italy Renaissances ) is an example , change of power in nepal is an eg. so partner, changes make opportunities and growth eg java , network is computing in todays changed world

  23. Jyoti Says:

    sir,
    Your effort is really appreciable. ‘The Verdit’ hosted by you is an unbiased and fair talk show. Other programmes are equally good. You have created a awareness and faith in media.
    I’m an aspiring journalist and you and my teacher Mr. Sanjay Pandey (PTI) are my ideal.
    Thank you sir
    Jyoti

  25. ALKA SONI Says:

    Dear Sir,

    On 18.1.08 NDTV Hindi News channel at 7 pm showed the five clipping but after the commercial break detail news was not aired. May I know the reasons I had tried three times to know but no one has give any reply.

    News Clipping captions are

    1. Model town mein rahine wali mahila ka uta police se visvas.

    2. IB officer ka mamala

    3. Maut hui pechle saal

    4. Patni ke uzadi khusia

    5. Keraydhar per shak

    Is there any pressure from Police or any authorities to stop the rely of this news or ….

    The above news was covered by Sh. Ashish Bharagav and his complete day exercise is waisted by not doing the proper telecast.

    Thanks

    Alka soni
