<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->I want to seriously explore buying an existing media outlet. Not that I have money, but I would like to start a movement with the help of like minded people. If some southern baptists can buy an outlet why can't you and I buy it if we have a strategy.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
India media work as mafia, old house still have strong muscles in corridors of power within and outside India. Ambanis tried dry run of daily English newspaper for six months in Delhi (1990s), it failed because of politicians, HT and TOI.

I have spent some time in HT & TOI, you need contacts, muscle, politicians and babus in pocket. I can bet Ambanis tried everything but TOI outsmart them.
Congress is known for IT raids in media houses, TOI infamous fires and HT mumbo jumbo and IE family feud kept all these houses in check. Ambanis were sitting in Bombay so that may be a problem.

Current TV channels are supported by other media houses. AIR and Doordarshans Bengali Babus did lot of family service to promote own group or now in media they call it Bongs invasion, which produced NDTV, AajTak and IBN-live. Now TOI is bongs house.

You need a big politician in pocket along with few babus (more corrupt much better) and ofcourse funds.
