Fremantle scoops Hew Award for ‘Punk:Attitude’
MUMBAI: Fremantle Home Entertainment (FHE), the home entertainment division of FremantleMedia, has scooped an award for the 2005 feature length film Punk:Attitude.
FHE walked away with the award for Best Music and Stage Show at the Home Entertainment Week (HEW) Awards of Excellence 2006 held in London, beating competing nominees Jerry Springer: The Opera (Pathe) and Concert of Bangladesh (Warner Vision). Punk:Attitude was also highly commended in this year’s Best Extras category.
Punk:Attitude is a 90 minute Don Letts Film, which documents how the punk revolution ignited onto the streets of London and New York in the mid 1970’s. It portrays how classic teenage rebellion, combined with the musical and social environment of the time, created the punk movement, as well as how its unique identity of independence and D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself) ideology has continued to define youth culture. The movie takes a highly original look at this movement and has sold-out to rapturous audiences at both the Tribeca Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival in 2005.
It is distributed internationally by FHE and is available on double disk DVD, which features over two hours of extras including featurettes on women in punk, fashion, fanzines, record companies and much more. The set also comes complete with a replica of Sniffin Glue magazine.

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.
