80 reporters have already been recruited for the Mumbai channel,
according to sources, although Bajaj refused to be drawn into divulging
the exact number recruited.
Instructors from all parts of the world have been brought in to
acquaint reporters (who have been undergoing intensive training
for the past two months )with the latest software technology, said
Bajaj.
"Our exhaustive coverage will provide discerning viewers with an
entire gamut of news, right from neighbourhood news, business, current
affairs, entertainment, politics, share markets, retail markets
to traffic updates. Our primary aim is to be a peoples' channel
, represent the cause of the people and give them a voice. We intend
to not only project problems but also provide a solution to them
" said Bajaj when asked what would give Sahara Samay Mumbai the
cutting edge over rival channels.
The Mumbai Samay bureau will primarily cater to the entire western
region which includes Maharashtra, Gujarat and Goa and provide news
in Hindi, Marathi and Gujarati.
