NDTV expands global footprint with NDTV World, its seventh news channel

New Delhi: Adani Group-owned NDTV is all set to launch its global channel NDTV World on Monday, October 21, 2024, with the tagline, ‘Seeing the World from Where India Stands’.

The broadcaster confirmed with BestMediaInfo.com that the channel will be launched at the NDTV World Summit on October 21 & 22, 2024, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to deliver the keynote address.

The seventh news channel from the NDTV Network will be available across all distribution platforms including DTH, Digital Cable or IPTV and OTT. 

To begin with, the channel will be available in four key markets of US, Canada, UK and UAE besides India.

In the USA market, NDTV World will be available across Dish (DTH), Sling (OTT) and more.

For Canada, the channel has signed distribution deals with Bell (IPTV), Shaw (Digital Cable), Rogers (Digital Cable) and Tellus (DTH).

Viewers in the UK can access NDTV World via Sky (DTH) and Virgin Media (Digital Cable).
