BENGALURU, March 26 (Reuters) - India's Zee
Entertainment Enterprises has formed a committee that
reviewed its management's business performance and provided
guidance, the beleaguered broadcaster said on Tuesday.
Businesses identified by the committee that need to
"substantially" reduce losses include Zee's television channel
'Zindagi', the company's English cluster of linear TV business,
and server technology company Margo Networks.
The move comes after Zee has had entertainment deals fizzle
out in recent months, with a $10 billion merger with the Indian
unit of Japan's Sony ( SONY ) scrapped and a $1.4 billion
cricket broadcasting agreement with the Walt Disney ( DIS )
-owned Star India that Zee quit.
The committee has also advised that Zee's management
reduce expenditure at its Bengaluru-based Technology and
Innovation Centre by 50% for fiscal 2025, the company said.
Expenses at the facility in the last year stood at 6 billion
rupees ($72.1 million), Zee said.
