If buzz in the small screen industry is to be believed, Sahara One entertainment channel’s future is uncertain. Speculation is rife that either it will close shop or be sold off. The arrest of its chief Subrata Roy over non-refund to investors has further fuelled the speculation.

Says an industry source, “There was a recent bid to sell off the channel. Talks were on with one or two parties, but nothing materialised. Then came the news of the Sahara chief’s arrest and things came to a standstill.”
