Breaking Vice Media launches in India

[Shantanu]

Vice Media, which has formed a joint venture with Times Group in India, is all set to launch Vice India in early 2018.

The Vice-Times Group deal involves launching TV channel Viceland in India under a different name featuring a mix of local and international content. In addition to TV, the JV will also produce and distribute local programming for online and mobile.

Vice is also setting up new offices in Mumbai and Delhi which will include a studio producing scripted, film, news and culture content from India for different platforms.

Earlier, Times Network MD and CEO MK Anand had told TelevisionPost.com that the tentative name of Viceland in India will either be Viceland Now or Vice Now.

Springtide Infotainment Media, the JV between Times Group and Vice Media, has applied for two licences with the ministry of information and broadcasting (MIB). Pragya Tiwari is the editor-in-chief of Vice India while Samira Kanwar is head of video.

The joint venture by Vice Media is done to bring its youth-focused content to many more territories, mixing local and international news, culture and lifestyle programming to young viewers across online, television and mobile. The content on Vice India will be an equal half split between local content and content from abroad.
The launch of Vice Media’s TV service ‘Viceland’ with the name ‘Vice Now’ in India as a pay channel is also a part of the joint venture.

Except for MNX and MN+, Times has made 'NOW' similar in all their channels; so I though they might go with the same approach.
