Sony is reportedly set to cancel the $10 billion merger with Zee Entertainment in a disagreement over leadership, as per Bloomberg News. The termination notice is expected before the extended January 20 deadline. Discussions between Sony and Zee continue. The merger, combining Zee and Sony's TV channels, streaming platforms, and film assets, faced delays after India's regulator barred Zee CEO Punit Goenka from directorships in August. While an Indian tribunal lifted the ban in October, Sony has purportedly pushed for N.P. Singh to lead the merged company, challenging Goenka's candidacy. Zee and Sony are yet to comment on the situation.
