Media Pro - The Star DEN and Zee Turner Joint Venture

In May 2011, STAR DEN Media Services (STAR DEN) formed a 50:50 joint venture with Zee Turner Limited, a joint venture between Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd and Turner International Private Limited, for jointly distributing channels and services of the two entities across India. The joint venture company is called Media Pro Enterprise India Private Limited and commenced operations from July 2011. DEN is a participant in this J-V through its 50 percent stake in STAR DEN.
