MUMBAI: Reversing their earlier decision, Mukesh Ambani-controlled TV18 and CNN International have announced extension of their brand licensing agreement on the English-language general news channel CNN IBN.
Earlier, TV18 and CNN had announced that they were snapping their 10-year old partnership with effect from January 2016.
But in a change of stance TV18 and CNN said today that they were renewing their partnership.
Network18 chairman Adil Zainulbhai said, “We are delighted to announce the renewal of this extremely cherished partnership between two most respected brands in journalism. In this second term of our collaboration, we aim to present a brand new CNN IBN that will bring news with even greater speed, accuracy, clarity and credibility and keep the viewers tuned in to the latest news and developments much ahead of others. We also intend to cut through the noise and clutter that is currently present in the Indian television news space and offer best practices of journalism that will lead to better understanding of issues. The channel will organise meaningful debates and raise issues that touch the lives of our viewers. With this renewed partnership, we will enhance the process of newsgathering and delivery to our viewers in an informative and enlightening manner.”
CNN International chief commercial officer Rani Raad added, “We are really excited about the future of CNN IBN and together with the new management at TV18, are going to build upon the success we have already achieved. I look forward to the brand continuing its lead in the dynamic Indian news industry and am delighted that CNN IBN is staying in our family of CNN-branded channels around the world that include CNN Turk, CNN Chile, CNN Philippines, CNN Indonesia and CNN Greece.”
