Zee Media launches news channel Zee Delhi NCR Haryana
Mumbai: Zee Media Corp has launched a news channel catering to Delhi, NCR, and Haryana. The channel called ‘Zee Delhi NCR Haryana’ will serve everyday news consumption needs via an array of different genres of programmes, it said.
Congratulating Zee Media on the launch of the channel, Rajya Sabha MP Dr Subhash Chandra in his message wished that the channel delivers to the expectations of the viewers. He also urged viewers to give their feedback about the channel.
“First, I would like to extend my best wishes to the group on launching the new channel – Zee Delhi, NCR and Haryana,” said chief minister of Haryana Manohar Lal. “We are rapidly evolving and coming closer every day becoming a global village; and news plays a very important role in this. I expect that the new channel will be a bridge between the state government and the people of Haryana.”
With the channel launch, Zee Media has addressed the need gap of hyperlocal news exclusively focused on the issues pertaining to Delhi, NCR and Haryana. The channel offers carefully curated programming that caters beyond politics and debates by including shows on crime, lifestyle, health etc.
“Congratulations to Zee Media on launching Zee Delhi NCR Haryana, for fulfilling the need of a regional-focused channel based out of our region,” said chief minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal. “Journalists work in tough conditions and I have a lot of respect for the work they do but sometimes, they may get disconnected from the common man. There will be many things that different parties or politicians say, but it is important to keep the focus on what the common man says.”
“The regions of Delhi, NCR and Haryana are a hotbed for politics and are also important cultural centres of the country,” said Zee Media cluster chief business officer Abhay Ojha. “We see a gap in honest, unbiased and extensive on-ground reporting in the regions, and hence we launched the channel that will exclusively cater to fulfilling that gap. We aim to be the most trustworthy news brand in the market. Since retail sales potential is very high, many SMEs are missing the platform as they can’t go to the national channels. Only local channels can give them complete RoI on advertisement, and we aim to focus on hyperlocal.”
Zee Delhi, NCR and Haryana will be available as a linear television channel across all DTH and MSO platforms, along with the OTT streaming platform Zee5. The news channel will also have its handles on social media platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.

EPIC Company unifies all brands under single EPIC identity
IN10 Media rebrand aligns TV, digital and films into one ecosystem
MUMBAI: The EPIC Company, formerly known as IN10 Media Network, has announced a sweeping brand consolidation, bringing its television channels, digital platforms and content IPs under a single identity, EPIC.
The move is aimed at simplifying the company’s structure while creating a more connected content ecosystem spanning television, digital and films. By aligning multiple verticals under one umbrella, the company is looking to present a sharper, more cohesive face to both audiences and partners.
As part of the transition, several channels have been rebranded to align with the EPIC identity. EPIC will now operate as EPIC TV, while Nazara becomes EPIC Bharat, Filamchi is now EPIC Bhojpuri, Gubbare transitions to EPIC Kids, and ShowBox is reintroduced as EPIC Music. Ishara will continue under the identity EPIC Parivaar, maintaining its core positioning.
The company has also refreshed EPICON, its streaming platform, to reflect a more unified and modern brand experience. The overhaul is designed to improve content discovery and create a seamless experience across platforms.
This consolidation follows the recent launch of EPIC Studio, a unified production arm that brings together Juggernaut Productions and MovieVerse Studio, as the company expands its footprint across films, OTT and television.
The EPIC Company managing director Aditya Pittie said, “As our scale has grown, it has become important to simplify how we operate and how we present ourselves to the ecosystem. This consolidation gives us a clearer, more future-ready structure to partner, invest, and build at scale, while ensuring that for viewers, the experience is more seamless and intuitive.”
With the rebrand, The EPIC Company is positioning itself as a platform-agnostic content network, focused on scale, simplicity and integrated storytelling. By bringing everything under one banner, it is aiming to make its content universe easier to navigate and harder to ignore.
