Big Magic set for revamp after ZEE’s acquisition

Reliance Broadcast Network Ltd (RBNL) will be revamping its flagship entertainment channel, Big Magic, the first change since its acquisition by ZEE Entertainment Enterprise Limited (ZEEL).

The revamp is expected in March with a new programme line-up. IndianTelevision reports that one of the new shows ‘Akbar’ will be a part of the new schedule.

RBNL CEO Tarun Katial told the publication, “We are prepared and gung-ho about relaunching Big Magic. Recently, we launched Akbar which is a historical show. Three-four big shows are in the pipeline for the relaunch.”

Katial also confirmed that the original programmes will extend during primetime. “We are making it wider and deeper as we are increasing the number of hours of programming. We will add variety to it,” he added.

ZEE recently acquired the TV business of RBNL including Big Magic and Big Ganga.
