NDTV Hindu, which kicked-off in mid-2009, was Chennai’s first city-specific English news and entertainment channel. According to two investment bankers close to NDTV, the two-year old channel has been put on the block as the revenues were low and the viewership, too, did not pick up in a market which has more than 100 region-specific channels to fight with, though almost all of them in the local language – Tamil.
