NDTV to expand operations in Malaysia!

Leading news channel in the Indian television segment NDTV has announced that they are planning to launch a 24-hour news channel in Malaysia by the year-end.

Interestingly, this channel would not be related to India and would cater to the local audience of that country.

The channel would be on the patterns of another channel Astro Awani which they recently launched in Indonesia in collaboration with Astro, a leading South East Asia media group.

Dr Prannoy Roy, Chairman of NDTV spoke on this new initiative: “The new news channel in Malaysia will be launched by this year-end in partnership with Astro.”

He further said: “Our news network’s leadership in an environment of increasing competition reflects the strength and credibility of the NDTV brand and the trust our viewers place in us. Going forward, we remain focused on becoming a composite media house and will continue to pioneer new areas of media work.”
