Mid-Day looks past print and radio

The Mumbai based tabloid Mid-Day is looking to venture outside print and radio and into television broadcasting in an effort to further strengthen is Web presence.

Mid-Day, which has branched out into other cities, such as Bangalore and Delhi, also owns the private FM radio brand, Radio One.

The move should not be considered as a shift away from one media outlet and into another, said Shishir Joshi, editorial director at Mid-Day. He said no media outlet can be ruled out, as “Mid-Day is willing to get into any new space which is exciting,” he told agencyfaqs in an interview.

Joshi only ruled out the possibility of a news channel, although a further consolidation or a new venture into broadcast are possibilities.

“For Mid-Day, anything that is exciting is a viable business option. It can be digital or even television,” he is quoted as saying.
