UTVi was in fact the first to pick it up. They even changed their programming schedule that day to specially track the US markets. Their tie-up with ABC News also helped them stay on top of the news. And I will say that the quality of their coverage was much btter than CNBC's. Their banking coverage is very strong and they had worked out the India impact much ahead of the others. Could bird-brain Latha Venkatesh have managed that? Certainly not. CNBC woke up to the bloodbath on Wall Street a good 45 minutes after UTVi started covering it. To the extent that CNBC has a 55% market share compared to UTVi's 10%, the perception will of course be that CNBC was the first and that it covered the news better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9917432.post-69107628658525433302008-09-18T18:14:00.000+05:302008-09-18T18:14:00.000+05:30Hey I wouldn't completely agree with what u've sai...Hey I wouldn't completely agree with what u've said, Media people going overboard about the blasts is reasonable. We have a reason to be angry at our lazy old apathetic politicians. I was near CP when the blasts went off. People were terrified. I might not look the same way on TV. And yes there are people saying "Only 25 have died". According to many it is small incident as the no: of deaths were less than what we've had in past. But look at the importance of life here. Atleast we'll have better security measures from now, hoping our agencies learn lessons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9917432.post-268178960000645522008-09-17T12:05:00.000+05:302008-09-17T12:05:00.000+05:30The Mint coverage of the meltdown in Wall Street i...The Mint coverage of the meltdown in Wall Street is not just because of what they pick from the Wall Street Journal... they also have two excellent senior editors -- Niranjan Rajadhyaksha and Manas Chakraborty -- who have written brilliant pieces on the issue.
