India Today

India Today Television is the group’s flagship English-language news channel. Originally launched as Headlines Today in 2003, it was rebranded in 2015 to align with the iconic India Today magazine brand. The channel is positioned as the “Gold Standard” of English journalism in India, focusing on sophisticated analysis, premium production values, and in-depth reporting that moves beyond the sensationalism often found in the news cycle.

The platform targets an urban, affluent, and influential audience including policy-makers, corporate leaders, and the youth. Its editorial focus is heavily weighted toward political strategy, economic trends, and social issues. The channel is famous for its flagship evening show, News Today at 9 with Rajdeep Sardesai, and To The Point with Preeti Choudhry. These programs are known for holding power to account through rigorous interviewing and fact-based storytelling.

In the digital sphere, India Today TV content is seamlessly integrated into the indiatoday.in portal, which is one of the most visited news websites in the country. The channel’s importance within the publisher network lies in its ability to command premium advertising rates and serve as the group’s primary vehicle for high-profile intellectual properties like the “India Today Conclave.” It bridges the gap between the group’s legacy print tradition and the modern, fast-paced world of digital broadcasting.
