The Zee 24 Gantalu news channel is going to close. Zee has agreed to pay three months severance pay to employees. It was briefly leased by Botsa Satish, brother of the Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee chief, Botsa Satyanarayana. The sensational coverage given by the channel to the visit of the DG police to a godman in the old city led to the arrest of a few journalists from the channel. The Zee management is believed to have taken a serious view of the damage to its reputation.
