Chiru's news channel

Megastar Chiranjeevi knows the power of media. And he is master in media management. Look how he spilled the beans to the select media persons through his good friend (a reputed doctor) about 'the possible entry into politics'! As he knows it is important to have a propaganda machine when he enters into political arena, Chiru is making ground preparations for it. He already owns an entertainment Channel - Maa TV and now plans to float a news channel.Rumors are rife that he is funding the money for soon-to-be launched news channel in Andhra Pradesh. Titled T Channel, the media house is to be headed by renowned editor K Ramachandra Murthy. He recently quit from the Andhrajyothy and is going to head the T-channel.Insiders say even Andhrajyothy MD Radhakrishna might be owning stake in this channel clandestinely as it is well-known that he is now 'promoting' Chiranjeevi aggressively through his paper. The way Ramachandra Murthy 'felicitated' on the last day of his job at the newspaper further proves this point.Political analysts say that Chiranjeevi cannot rely on the two biggest and powerful media groups in Andhra Pradesh in news sector - Eenadu (print and electronic media) and TV9 (electronic media) for various reasons. Hence he is said to be backing Ramachandramurthy headed T-channel.
