No news channels in Kannada are reliable. Every channel is running like a TRP factory. TV9, though with crap content, has a pioneer advantage in Karnataka as they were the first 24-hour Kannada News Channel. Suvarna News used to be a good channel but they have also fallen for the TRP race and the content quality is decreasing day to day. Public TV is no better, running fake news for TRP has been their motto. Still, these three channel maintain their viewership with some attention to actual news. News18 Kannada and Dighvijay News are good channels with better quality oriented content but aren't able to reach the top. Power TV seems to be a good channel but they aren't available on many platforms yet. And apart from these, no one really cares about other channels. Raj News, BTV, Samaya, Kasthuri Newz, Janashree will all have the same fate (if they are still running).
