Sudhir Chaudhary
is the Editor - in - Chief of Zee News, WION, DNA and Zee Business. He is also the business head of Zee News. He has replaced veteran Satish Singh who had worked with the channel for
14 years. It means Sudhir is not only handling presentation and editorial angle of Zee News, but he is also responsible for bringing money/making profit for the channel.
Ever since
Sudhir has joined the channel in 2012, it has seen astronomical rise in terms
of TRPs. Previously, it was not ranked among top 10 Hindi Channels. Now, it is
among top 3. Sudhir Chaudhary is credited for making this transmogrification in the prime fortune of Subhash Chandra.
It should also
be mentioned that Sudhir was involved in a major controversy just after joining
the channel where a case of extortion was filed against him and another
journalist for trying to extort money from Navin Jindal.
Profile of Sundhir Chaudhary
When it comes to
chronicling private news channels in India, the name of Sudhir Chaudhary will
always be mentioned. Zee News was the first which had heralded the revolution
of 24 hour news channel. Sudhir had joined the channel in 1993 when it was just
started. He has seen all that have happened in this arena.

Zee News in 2003 when Sahara group planned to launch a news channel and they
badly needed an experienced person. They couldn’t find a better match than
Sudhir. He was instrumental in launching Sahara Samay.

a non-serious news channel. But, with low budget, this Rajat Sharma led channel
is ranked second just after Aaj Tak.

again instrumental in launching this channel, the second channel which he had
helped launched. However, Live India got mingled in a heinous controversy where

sting operation was shown on the channel, people went to the school and drag
the innocent teacher – Uma Khurana – on the road and made her naked. Sudhir was
blamed for that episode. However, he denied saying that he just approved the
video as given by the reporter Prakash Singh and he had no intention of the
malicious intent of the reporter.

Chaudhary is taking sides with BJP. He is seen quite close to Amit Shah. His
stand on JNU controversy is always questioned.
