It is a known news that Janasena party's leader and retired IAS officer Thota Chandrasekhar took over 99TV and the puja ceremony was also done recently. Thereafter, the channel has been telecasting interesting programmes and a good coverage on Janasena activities and tours are also being ensured by the channel's management.
Incidentally, Power Star Pawan Kalyan's fans are showing their power in subscribing the channel in big numbers on Youtube. As per reports, the subscribers count crossed 2+ lakhs on day one of the channel's takeover. This is an ever big number on a single day in the history of Telugu news channels.
Reports say Power Star's fans have taken it as a prime task to make sure the channel reached to the people. They are advising their friends and relatives in Whatsapp groups and social media accounts to subscribe the channel and to watch the channel's programmes. However, if at all the channel comes up with better quality of programmes it will reach to next level.
On the other hand, it's being rumoured that NTV, AP24x7 and 10TV would also be supporting Janasena in near future.
On the flip side, some Janasena activists from various centres of AP are complaining that they are not getting 99TV. They are suspecting if any conspiracy of ruling TDP was involved stopping 99TV programmes. In such case, Janasena activists are likely to discuss the issue with local cable operators and may ensure the programmes are broadcast without any interruption.
