Vir Sanghvi quits INX, to announce new news channel ‘very soon’
NEW DELHI: Vir Sanghvi, CEO of INX News and editorial head of the group’s upcoming news channel News X, has finally left the INX group and is slated to announce the opening of another news channel very soon.
A source very close to Sanghvi, who has also left the group, confirmed the developments to Indiantelevision.com, adding that equity driven issues and that of accountability was what ‘finally broke the camel’s back’.
It is worth noting that it was Indiantelevision.com that had first put out a report categorically stating that rumblings within Indrani and Peter Mukerjea’s news broadcast arm INX News Pvt Ltd had come to a head and that Sanghvi was on his way out of the company.
Neither of the Mukerjeas were available for comment at the time of filing this report.
As for who might be replacing Sanghvi, while no confirmation is still available from the company, the buzz remains that the head of a leading Hindi news channel might be taking charge in due course.
