TV News Channels - Serious Business After the spate of melodramatic soaps – tearjerkers based on the Indian household, it is now the turn of the seemingly earnest faces eager to report on goings at the earliest from different parts of the world. The sudden burgeoning of the channels in the twenty-four hour news segment, on the Indian television scenario reflects the shifting of the focus from fiction to facts. Also of much consequence is the Union governments’ decision of March 18, which limits the foreign equity in the news channels seeking to uplink from India to only 26 per cent. ... In the non-news category, foreign investment up to 74 per cent is permitted. It must be noted that any kind of news component viz. ... Earlier there was no policy distinction with regard to the news and current affairs channels and those falling in other categories. ... Only the channels that uplink from India get the privilege of collecting live footage and transmission. Nearly fifty per cent of the channels available currently to the viewer fall in the news and current affairs category. ... The decision came in the wake of an application from the Star News in October 2002 for an uplinking licence putting a dampener on the Murdoch owned empires’ ambitions of going it alone with a twenty four hour news channel. The request came at the time when their five-year contract with New Delhi Television (NDTV - the channels’ editorial controller) was almost ending. Soon after, there has been a rise in the number of media groups introducing their own 24-hour news channels. In the Business Headlines Today, India’s first indigenous English news channel was launched by TV Today Network on April 7, 2003, TV today also runs the popular Hindi news channel Aaj Tak. ... Headlines Today aims to capture 30-40 per cent of the English news market. ... NDTV has launched its channels NDTV India (Hindi) and NDTV 24x7 (English). The channels aim at getting a good viewership by having fresh programmes coupled with the old time popular ones like The World This Week. NDTV has tied up with The One Alliance, a Sony Entertainment and Discovery joint venture, to distribute its two news channels in India. |
