BBC Trust announces public value test into local video proposal
MUMBAI: The BBC Trust’s Public Value and Fair Trading Committee has decided to apply a public value test (PVT) to UK pubcaster the BBC’s local video proposal.
The PVT will begin on 24 June 2008. Documentation – including the BBC Executive’s application document and a timetable for the process – will be published at that time. The date marks the start of a four-week consultation period for both the public value assessment by the Trust and the market impact assessment by Ofcom.
The Trust expects to publish its final decision by 25 February 2009. The BBC Trust’s public value test has three components. The first is a public value assessment, carried out by the Trust. The second is a market impact assessment, carried out by Ofcom to terms agreed jointly by the Trust and Ofcom. These run concurrently. The third is the Trust’s consideration of both assessments: the public value test, resulting in the Trust’s provisional conclusions which it publishes for consultation before reaching its final decision.

CNBC India unveils new logo, rolls out refreshed identity across network
Debuted at IBLA, the redesign signals a sharper, digital-first future
MUMBAI: CNBC has unveiled a refreshed brand identity across its India network, introducing a new logo and visual system that reflects a more modern, digital-first direction.
The rebrand was officially revealed at the India Business Leader Awards held in Mumbai on March 14, marking the first public showcase of the updated design at one of the network’s most prominent platforms.
The overhaul is among the most visible brand updates for CNBC in recent years, aimed at aligning its look and feel with evolving audience habits and a growing multi-platform presence.
At the centre of the refresh is a redesigned logo that moves away from the network’s long-standing multi-coloured peacock motif, opting instead for a cleaner and more minimalist aesthetic. A key visual cue is a blue upward-pointing arrow embedded within the letter ‘N’, symbolising forward momentum, growth and a focus on the future.
The new identity is being rolled out across the entire CNBC cluster in India, including CNBC-TV18, CNBC-TV18 Prime, CNBCTV18.com, CNBC Awaaz and CNBC Bajar. The move brings a more cohesive and contemporary design language across television and digital platforms alike.
The rollout began on March 30, with the network aiming to create a unified viewer experience regardless of how audiences access its content, be it on broadcast, online or connected devices.
With this refresh, CNBC is signalling its next phase of growth in India, blending legacy credibility with a sharper, forward-looking identity designed for an increasingly digital news ecosystem.
