Times Now Navbharat launches political satire show ‘Bhaiya Ji Superhit’
Mumbai: Times Now Navbharat has launched a new show “Bhaiya Ji Superhit” that will begin airing from 8 January at 10 p.m every Saturday.
The show is a political satire on the top news stories, current affairs and political affairs of the previous week, and is hosted by stand-up comedian Sundeep Sharma. The 30-minute weekend show will be presented through three key segments ‘Hafta Saptah,’ ‘Noora Kushti,’ and ‘Acchi Baat Hai.’
“Times Now Navbharat has successfully positioned itself as a preferred Hindi news channel in a short span of time, gaining unprecedented support from the country’s top influencers and viewers alike,” said Times Network group editor and Times Now Navbharat editor-in-chief Navika Kumar. “Our differentiated news shows like ‘News Ki Paathshala,’ ‘Sawal Public Ka,’ ‘Opinion India Ka,’ immediately resonated with the viewers. ‘Bhaiya Ji Superhit’ is a new show which presents a lighter side of the serious business of news.”
“Every Stand-up comedian at some point in their career dreams of hosting a TV show and I am extremely thrilled and excited to host my first TV show, Bhaiya Ji Superhit on Times Now Navbharat, a channel from the largest media group,” said Sundeep Sharma. “I have a very desi brand of humour and the audience feels connected to me as one amongst them and I am hoping to make the same connection through television.”

News18 India launches Command Centre war explainer with Arya
New show shifts from debates to decoding global conflicts and impacts
MUMBAI: News18 India has rolled out a new war-focused programme, Command Centre, featuring Gaurav Arya, as it looks to offer viewers a sharper, more grounded take on global conflicts amid rising tensions in West Asia.
Positioned as an “insider war room”, the show moves away from conventional panel debates and instead focuses on explaining military developments, decoding strategy and connecting global events to their everyday impact, from fuel prices to economic shifts.
The format leans heavily on visuals and data. The studio has been designed like a command hub, complete with large LED war maps, real-time graphics and an alert system to track developments as they unfold.
At the centre of it all is Arya, who brings his military background to simplify complex war strategies for viewers. His signature line, “Seedhi baat samjhiye”, anchors the show’s promise of clarity over noise.
News18 India managing editor Jyoti Kamal said, “Command Centre, featuring Major Gaurav Arya is designed to deliver accurate insights and a clear perspective on how evolving conflicts impact everyday life, from household budgets to national security. With expert voices analysing every development in real time, the show goes beyond headlines to decode what’s happening now, what it means, and what could come next.”
Echoing the intent, Gaurav Arya added, “In times of war, confusion is the biggest threat. With News18 India’s Command Centre, we are bringing viewers inside the war room, decoding strategies, tracking every escalation, and explaining, in the simplest terms, what it means for India and for every household. Seedhi baat samjhiye, this is where you understand not just what is happening, but what happens next.”
The weekday show will air in the afternoon slot and will also feature Gaurav Shukla, adding to its editorial depth.
With its mix of analysis, visuals and a clear focus on impact, the show reflects a broader shift in news consumption. Viewers are no longer just watching events unfold, they are looking to understand what those events mean for them.
