CNN IBN bows to REL pressure ?? Link yanked !!

This link:http://www.ibnlive.com/videos/41036/week-2-roys-still-powerless.html was a program aired by CNN IBN (Part 2 of 4, I am given to understand).

Apparently, after the 2nd episode, CNN IBN "apologised" to Anil Ambani (I don't know how far this is true...) and therefore episodes 3 & 4 were not aired.

Now this link is also pulled off !!!

Interestingly, recent newspaper reports have it that the Turner Group (CNN) has tied up with Rel Comm for providing media streams on Reliance Mobile.

Coincidence??

To be fair .. CNN IBN, IBN7, etc. were already available on Reliance handsets.

It seems that "BUSINESS" took precedence over "NEWS" for CNN IBN too .. the latest to join the casualty list .. after TOI ... but then, that's my opinion ;)
