Broadcast News buys studio space
MUMBAI: Broadcast News, the new venture that ex-NDTV stalwarts Rajdeep Sardesai and Sameer Manchanda have floated in collaboration with TV 18 Group, has identified prime space for setting up base for its news channel headquarters.
Broadcast News editor-in-chief Rajdeep Sardesai has confirmed to indiantelevision.com that his company has acquired 50,000 sq feet of space in Express Towers in Film City in Nodia, on the outskirts of Delhi.
A clear indication that Broadcast News will be launching a Hindi news channel at some point to accompany the main English channel was provided by Sardesai’s assertion that the space acquired was more than enough to handle two channels.
The acquisition of new office-cum-studio space, industry sources indicate, testifies that Broadcast News will be having more than one studio for various audiences and guest-based shows for its two channels.
Though Broadcast News will have its headquarters at Nodia, it will have a central studio in Delhi, apart from a central studio in Mumbai.
It is also expected that part of the CNBC TV 18 work could also be done at the Broadcast News studios in Noida. At present, TV18-CNBC combine runs two channels in India, the English language CNBC TV 18 and the Hindi language consumer channel Awaaz. The TV-18 offices and studio are located in Delhi’s Jhandewalan area in central-west Delhi.
After moving into the glass-fronted building at Noida, Broadcast News, will have as neighbours Zee News, the Rajat Sharma promoted India TV, Moving Pictures, BAG Films’ studio-cum-media school and Jagran TV Pvt. Ltd managed Channel 7, amongst some other studios.

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.
