With Lok Sabha TV Editor In Chief and CEO Ashish Joshi getting an extension for 90 days, it is likely that it may get a new chief sooner or later. Indianmandarins has reliably learnt that Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla is disappointed with the coverage and programming of the LSTV.

Sources told Indianmandarins that since plan of merger of LSTV and RSTV was being discussed all this while else the present chief Ashish Joshi would have been shown the door by now. LSTV is not into reporting news but its programming is even pathetic. Most of the debaters coming on the LSTV are not up to the debating standards with same faces being repeated even without having expertise on the debating subject. LSTV chief has been allowing that to continue ever since he has taken over as he is surrounded by a coterie, which has been reaching the Speaker.

Lok Sabha speaker is consulting every such person who can help to improve the Lok Sabha TV and he is getting some good advice but the initial roadblock is people executing the plan so he wants to correct them by all means. Sources said that now it is almost certain that merger of LSTV and RSTV is not happening, so Speaker wants a new CEO to run the LSTV professionally with quality programs.
