NDTV Rajasthan launches on 5 September
Mumbai: NDTV Rajasthan, NDTV’s second regional channel, launches on 5 September 2023.
The regional channel and website https://rajasthan.ndtv.in/ brings NDTV’s legacy of trust to the ‘land of kings,’ the largest state by area in India.
NDTV will bring its 35 years of journalism to the state, promising to go beyond politics. Our focus on ground reports will give the public that much-needed voice. Our focus on hyper-local utility news, on issues that matter to the youth, on gender and climate, incisive coverage of the cities and villages, NDTV’s legacy of covering elections from the ground and intelligent analysis gives the regional channel a global touch. Our channel will focus on the rich cultural diversity of the state, its history, music, dance, entrepreneurship and language.
NDTV’s executive director and editor-in-chief Sanjay Pugalia reiterated the company’s commitment to journalism of trust.
“Our decision to go regional stems from our desire to provide hyper-local, relevant news to people living in Rajasthan. Our reporters and stringers will ensure no region, city or village feels alienated from the capital.”
Adding to the sentiment, NDTV’s executive director Senthil Chengalvarayan added, “The launch of NDTV Rajasthan comes at a time when news has increasingly become limited to politics and not much else. We want to change this and ensure every citizen of Rajasthan feels that their voice matters.”
NDTV Rajasthan will be available on leading local cable and DTH networks.
