Ravi Hegde, Editor-in-Chief, Asianet Suvarna News, said, “The new identity has triggered an exciting, revamped look and feel along with introduction of new shows during the prime time, which will be a game changer in the Karnataka News genre. This is not a one-day rebrand excitement for us. We will pay the same attention to detail serious journalism requires. In a copy-cat news media market, we will differentiate ourselves with credible, verified visual presentation true to our tagline, Straight, Bold, Relentless.”

Rajesh Kalra

Rajesh Kalra, Executive Chairman of Asianet News Media and Entertainment Private Limited, pointed to the lack of programming differentiators across the news broadcasting business and said, “We are witnessing a shift in consumer behaviour over the recent past. It is important for news broadcasters to be sensitive to this shift. With shrinking attention span and ever evolving viewership behaviour, presenting well-differentiated, verified content will be the key to better engagement. Asianet Suvarna News is doing exactly that and will continue to deliver on the back of its well-researched content strategy.”
