Mid-Day opts not to take FM to Delhi, Chennai
MUMBAI:Although Mid-Day’s Go 92.5 FM has established itself well as a niche music channel in Mumbai, the company seems to have thought twice about it before attempting a foray into Delhi and Chennai. The last date for payment of license fees in the two cities was today, as the government has not budged on the request for respite from private FM players.
Mid-Day Multimedia informed the Bombay Stock Exchange this afternoon that M/s Mid-Day Radio North India Ltd and Mid-Day Broadcasting South India Pvt. Ltd, 100 per cent subsidiaries of the company, formed for the purpose of operating FM Broadcasting Stations at Delhi and Chennai respectively, will not be going ahead with their plans of setting up FM stations there.
The company said that it informed I&B ministry on Wednesday that due to uneconomic license fee structure and delay in the setting up of joint infrastructure by all the broadcasters in the respective cities beyond the agreed date of 29 August, it would not undertake broadcasting activity in Delhi and Chennai respectively under the present tender terms. However, if there is any change in the tender terms by the government (I & B Ministry), Mid-Day has kept open the option of reconsidering its position.

TLC launches ‘World On My Plate’ with Shipra Khanna
New travel-food series premieres 29 March at 7:00 PM.
MUMBAI: Shipra Khanna just packed her bags and her flavours because when a celebrated chef takes you on a global plate tour, even the couch starts feeling like first-class. Warner Bros. Discovery India has announced the launch of World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna, a new travel and food series set to premiere on TLC on 29 March at 7:00 PM. Hosted and curated by the popular chef and television personality, the show blends food, travel and culture through an intimate and immersive lens.
Across three visually rich episodes, Shipra journeys to global destinations to explore not just what people eat, but why they eat it, uncovering the stories, traditions and human connections behind every dish. The series opens in London, weaving its iconic landmarks with diverse culinary scenes, before moving to Spain’s vineyards, olive orchards and coastal kitchens.
Warner Bros. Discovery head of advertising revenues for South Asia Tanaz Mehta said: “At TLC, our focus has always been on bringing authentic stories that reflect how people live and connect. World On My Plate builds on this by using food as a lens to explore shared traditions across geographies. We’re excited to collaborate with Chef Shipra Khanna, whose perspective brings both depth and relatability to these narratives.”
Shipra Khanna added, “Food has always been my way of connecting with people and understanding cultures. With World On My Plate, I’ve had the opportunity to step into new worlds, learn from incredible individuals, and share stories that go far beyond the plate. This show is very special to me.”
The series promises strong visual storytelling, meaningful interactions and a fresh perspective on global cuisine celebrating flavours alongside the emotions and traditions that shape them.
In a world where travel shows often feel like distant postcards, Shipra Khanna is serving up something far more personal: a passport to cultures through their kitchens, proving that the best way to understand a place is still through the plate. Tune in to World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna starting 29 March at 7:00 PM on TLC.
