Adult internet TV site launches in the US next month
MUMBAI: This is an initiative in the US that seeks to boost adult content on the tube using the online route.
An adult streaming site Adultinternet.TV will launch next year on 6 January. It will have reality shows, news, sitcoms and cartoons.
The unique proposition that the site will offer is that it will function in the same manner as a free to air broadcaster. It will not charge a fee and instead will rely on ads as its source of revenue. That is what makes it different from a site that merely streams porn.
The sites co-founder Mark Newman was quoted in a report in wired.com saying that a special software would be used for putting in the ads. “We had to invent a lot of stuff that no one has done before, like real-time tracking for advertisers.” Mark also designed his own wireless transmission system for live streaming.
What is new here is that the site will not just have people taking off their clothes at the flick of a switch. As mentioned earlier there will different kinds of shows, including soap operas. Newman is hoping that this will serve as a strong alternative to pornographic films.
The venture has reportedly created so much buzz among the adult industry and viewers that the channel is launching nine months earlier than originally planned. The software that has been created for the site is another strong value proposition and can form a separate revenue stream in itself that could fetch millions of dollars even if visitors do not take to the content in a big way.

Kamlesh Singh receives Haldi Ghati Award from MMCF
India Today Group editor honoured for three decades of journalism at Udaipur ceremony.
MUMBAI- Kamlesh Singh just turned a lifetime of sharp words into a shiny shield because when journalism wakes up a society, even the Maharana of Mewar wants to pin a medal on it.
The Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation (MMCF) conferred its prestigious Haldi Ghati Award on Kamlesh Singh, a senior editor at the India Today Group, during a ceremony in Udaipur on 15 March 2026. The national award, instituted in 1981-82, recognises “work of permanent value that initiates an awakening in society through the medium of journalism.”
Singh, who leads several editorial initiatives including Aaj Tak Radio, the Teen Taal community and The Lallantop, was presented the honour by Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, Managing Trustee of MMCF. The citation highlighted his three decades of contributions to Indian media, innovations in digital journalism, mentoring young reporters, and his popular podcast persona “Tau” on Teen Taal, which fosters thoughtful public discourse.
The Haldi Ghati Award, named after the historic Battle of Haldighati symbolising valour and resilience, is one of four national awards given annually by MMCF. Past recipients include Tavleen Singh, Piyush Pandey and Raj Chengappa.
Other honourees this year included Padma Vibhushan Pt Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Vedamurti Devvrat Rekhe, Treeman of India Marimuthu Yoganathan, Vir Chakra Capt Rizwan Malik, and US-based researcher Molly Emma Aitken, who received the Colonel James Tod Award for contributions to understanding Mewar’s spirit and values.
In an era where headlines often shout louder than substance, the MMCF quietly reminded everyone that real journalism isn’t about noise, it’s about the quiet, persistent work that stirs society awake, one thoughtful story at a time.
