New Delhi – City specific news channel NDTV Metro Nation’s future is believed to be under threat amidst company wide cost-cutting measures. Despite a reported 27 per cent growth in market share since its September 2007 launch, the channel’s plans to expand to other major cities were ditched end-2008. Press websites in India have divulged contents of an internal e-mail from NDTV chairman and director Dr Prannoy Roy in which he says that headcount will be frozen and ‘floaters’ will not be tolerated. Roy asks employees to economize on travel costs and telephone bills. Job losses are rumoured, and NDTV senior management are believed to have taken a 20 per cent paycut for 2009.
