Trump to host ‘The Apprentice’ for three more seasons
MUMBAI: Over the past couple of years Donald Trump has been very much in the limelight courtesy his reality show The Apprentice which airs in the US on NBC.
Now the corporate magnate has announced that he will leave the show after completing five seasons. NBC will start airing the third season of The Apprentice on 20 January. In India the show airs on Star World.
A report in Inside Track informs that Trump has almost finished taping the third season. The shows creator Mark Burnett has planned some very different tasks for the contestants in order to maintain the fresh quality of the show.
Data from Nielsen Media Research indicates that the show has been slipping in the ratings. The second season averaged just under 16 million viewers, down 19 per cent from the 19.6 million it averaged going into the first season’s finale.
NBC has attributed the decline in ratings to the fact that Friends came to a close earlier this year. However, the broadcaster reiterated that the show is still among the top 10 among young people.

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.
