British news broadcaster BBC is set to launch a new Hindi TV news programme on ETV network’s news channels in India and on the BBC’s Hindi website, bbchindi.com.

Titled ‘BBC Dunia’, the news show will bring original global BBC stories in Hindi from Monday to Friday, with a focus on international content that resonates with the Indian audience. ‘BBC Dunia’ is part of ETV’s 9 pm news slot, ‘ETV News with BBC’.

It will be a special 10-minute show and will go on air at 9.20 pm across the ETV network—ETV Rajasthan, ETV Uttar Pradesh and Uttrakhand, ETV Bihar and Jharkhand, ETV Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, ETV Haryana and Himachal and ETV Urdu.

The show will also be available on demand on bbchindi.com and the BBC Hindi channel on YouTube.

ETV News Network head Jagdish Chandra commented, “ETV is a leader in regional news space in the country, and this tie-up with BBC has added one more feather in its cap.

Now ETV viewers across the country will get an international window in the form of ‘BBC Dunia’.


This ETV–BBC fusion will prove a boon for the viewers who like to watch news which really matters to them.”

BBC World Service Asia editor Juliana Lootty said, “The launch of ‘BBC Dunia’ is a major development for BBC World Service in the region and an excellent example of our commitment to Hindi-speaking audiences.

Now with ‘BBC Dunia’, available from Monday to Friday, BBC Hindi will serve its TV audiences even better, hopefully becoming essential viewing for anyone who wants to keep abreast of the world developments with the BBC, in Hindi.”
