All three news mentioned above were big news, Aana Hazare, and the World Cup.'Ye Aadhi Jeet Hai' was on Anna Hazare to break his fast, Anna's victory celebrations at India Gate. Star Savera was about India wins the Cricket World Cup 2011, and Balle Balle Fatafat was on the news that South Africa beats India in WC 2011 match."
When asked, what morning news viewers look for in terms of programming, the spokesperson said, "If you look at the programming line up in the morning time band of majority of news channels, a mix of fast news bulletins, astrology, cricket, and religious content take the lead. But we at Star News have taken a conscious call : “No astrology, no religion. Only hard news.'."
