[icernet] NDTV to launch English, Hindi channels

[Arul Selvan]

NDTV on Thursday announced that its news channels in English and Hindi will
be distributed by The One Alliance from April 1 as part of the Alliance
bouquet comprising Discovery, Sony Entertainment, HBO, AXN, Animal Planet
and CNBC India. Roy said NDTV's news programmes would be of international
standards, while at present Indian news programmes are assigned only six
points on a scale of ten. For the first time in India, NDTV channels would
introduce ''breakaway period'' programmes comprising state and city specific
weather and traffic situation which would be beamed only for particular
regions, with other places receiving such programmes relevant only to them.
