Bournvita Quiz Contests, longest running quiz show on Indian TV, airs 350th episode Sunday
MUMBAI: Bournvita Quiz Contest (BQC), the name the name that immediately comes to mind when we think of quizzing for school students, will air its 350th episode on Zee TV this Sunday, according to a press release.
BQC, which is already the longest running quiz show in the world, will mark yet another milestone with the telecast of its 350th episode on Zee TV on Sunday, 11 February.
It is worth noting that BQC took the “Asian Television Awards 2000” runners up prize for best game show at a glittering award ceremony held in Singapore in December 2000.
Since its inception on 5 June 1994, the quiz show has become a major television event spanning over 2,500 schools in 66 cities spread across the length and breadth of the country and six countries around the globe. BQC primarily aims not just to sharpen quizzing skills, but to offer a variety of information for the all-round development of students. Conceptually, BQC revolves around the reading habits of young students, which we still aim in today’s E-commerce world.
The mastermind behind this quizzing concept is Derek O’Brein “who almost single-handedly has made quizzing into the nation’s third most popular and liked spectator event after one-day cricket.”
The 350th episode will have Jamnabai School – Mumbai, Kerala Samajam School- Jamshedpur, Indian School Ghala – Muscat and finally, Bal Bhawan – Bhopal participating.

EPIC Company unifies all brands under single EPIC identity
IN10 Media rebrand aligns TV, digital and films into one ecosystem
MUMBAI: The EPIC Company, formerly known as IN10 Media Network, has announced a sweeping brand consolidation, bringing its television channels, digital platforms and content IPs under a single identity, EPIC.
The move is aimed at simplifying the company’s structure while creating a more connected content ecosystem spanning television, digital and films. By aligning multiple verticals under one umbrella, the company is looking to present a sharper, more cohesive face to both audiences and partners.
As part of the transition, several channels have been rebranded to align with the EPIC identity. EPIC will now operate as EPIC TV, while Nazara becomes EPIC Bharat, Filamchi is now EPIC Bhojpuri, Gubbare transitions to EPIC Kids, and ShowBox is reintroduced as EPIC Music. Ishara will continue under the identity EPIC Parivaar, maintaining its core positioning.
The company has also refreshed EPICON, its streaming platform, to reflect a more unified and modern brand experience. The overhaul is designed to improve content discovery and create a seamless experience across platforms.
This consolidation follows the recent launch of EPIC Studio, a unified production arm that brings together Juggernaut Productions and MovieVerse Studio, as the company expands its footprint across films, OTT and television.
The EPIC Company managing director Aditya Pittie said, “As our scale has grown, it has become important to simplify how we operate and how we present ourselves to the ecosystem. This consolidation gives us a clearer, more future-ready structure to partner, invest, and build at scale, while ensuring that for viewers, the experience is more seamless and intuitive.”
With the rebrand, The EPIC Company is positioning itself as a platform-agnostic content network, focused on scale, simplicity and integrated storytelling. By bringing everything under one banner, it is aiming to make its content universe easier to navigate and harder to ignore.
