Media firm TV18 Broadcast today launched in the UK a 24 hours news channel 'News18 India', which would be distributed through a joint venture formed with Viacom 18.
After News18 India's entry into the UK, it would be launched across the globe, including key diaspora markets such as the US, Canada, Middle East and Australia, the company said in a statement.
Commenting on launch, Network18 Founder & Editor Raghav Bahl said: "India's resurgence on the world stage is evident from the almost insatiable global interest in its present as well as its future. This presents a compelling opportunity to deliver a service that fulfils this need in a relevant manner and News18 India is our answer."
News18 India would be produced by the same team which runs TV18's market news services, it added.
Network18 Group is one the leading media firms in India and owns TV18. Its main news channels include CNN-IBN, CNBC TV18 and CNBC Awaaz.
