MUMBAI: Three months after the distribution
JV between TV18 and Viacom18 called
IndiaCast announced that its news brand called
News 18 is going to be distributed
internationally very soon, TV18 has now
entered the US market with the launch of
News18 India. The 24 hours television news
channel is designed to give global audiences a
window into India. The channel went live on 30
July on Dishworld and Dish Network Channel

It can be noted that News18 India is already
present in key south Asian diaspora markets
that include the UK, Singapore and the Middle
East (the latter two were added only recently).
News18 India will be available to all viewers on
the international base pack, English News pack
and Hindi Mega pack, making this one of the
most widely distributed Indian News channels
in the US.
News 18 provides all types of news from India
including political and business as well as
weather reports. The same team that produces
news for the existing news channels in the
IndiaCast portfolio such as CNN-IBN, CNBC
TV-18, IBN7 produce news for News 18.
News18 India is a unique news channel
offering a dynamic and customised blend of
business and general news programming at

greater relevance for the viewers in the region.
In addition to News18 India, IndiaCast
distributes the flagship general entertainment

MTV India International and 6 ETV branded
services in overseas markets.
IBN News Networks CEO Avinash Kaul said, “It
gives me immense pleasure to expand our
global footprint and to take the best of Indian
News to every household outside of India.
News18 India is a destination for definitive
news for the Indian diaspora, a community of
high achievers seeking Indian news and for
ethnic conglomerates with business interests in
India. At a time when the world is watching
India, News18 India will serve as the world’s
window into India.” http://www.indiantelevision.com/television/tv-channels/news-broadcasting/news18-india-launches-in-the-us-140801
