Across the pond and on air Live Times tunes into North America

MUMBAI: India’s news voice just got a transatlantic echo. Live Times, billed as India’s first global multicast news hub, has expanded its international footprint with a launch across the United States and Canada, making its content available on UVOtv, a FAST platform catering to global diaspora audiences.

The move opens up Live Times to an addressable audience of over 70 million people across North America who primarily consume news in languages other than English. The expansion significantly boosts India’s visibility in the global information ecosystem, positioning Live Times as a growing international player committed to fact-led, cross-border journalism.

North America has emerged as a strategic focus for the network, given its large and influential Indian diaspora with strong ties back home. The rollout builds on Live Times’ existing presence across the Middle East, Australia and Oceania, aligning with its stated aim of connecting overseas audiences to Indian perspectives with clarity and credibility.

By partnering with UVOtv, Live Times gains access to a diverse, digitally native viewership while retaining its editorial positioning of accuracy-first reporting. The FAST distribution model also allows the channel to scale quickly across connected TV platforms without compromising reach or accessibility.

Announcing the expansion, Live Times founder Dilip Singh said the channel was created to amplify India’s voice globally and contribute to what he described as a “truth-based world information order”. He added that reaching 70 million viewers in North America marks a major step in building simultaneous global scale while deepening engagement with the diaspora, with plans to further widen coverage beyond Indian borders.

Welcoming the channel, UVOtv founder and CEO Lionel Dreshaj said Live Times strengthens the platform’s international news portfolio by offering Indian audiences in the US and Canada a credible, fact-driven connection to news from home.

Now streaming across North America, Live Times continues to extend its global reach while holding firm to its editorial promise: delivering accurate, authentic journalism without compromise, wherever in the world it is watched.
