India's largest media conglomerate, The Times Group is all set to launch its No. 1 English News Channel in Europe, marking its presence in 100 countries. The expansion will help the Times Network add a potential audience of 1.4 million Indians in mainland Europe, with countries like Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.
Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan joined the revelry by cutting a cake on the occasion. MK Anand, MD and CEO, Times Network, said, "Today, with India's growing participation in international affairs, engaging the Indian diaspora is equally important towards our economic development. I feel, as India's leading English broadcast network, it's the right time for us to create a global presence for ourselves and for our country. Through our approach towards television news journalism, which revolutionised the way news was presented in the country, we plan to present a modern, vibrant, successful, and vocal news to the world."
Roshan said, "Times Now, thank you for having me here to celebrate Times Now reaching 100 countries. This is an exceptional achievement. Supplying objective and unbiased news to the world to make them aware of their environment is one of the noblest services that we can provide and I wish the entire team of TIMES NOW for this milestone hope that the entire team of TIMES NOW reaches more than 183 countries in the coming year. Finally, I personally believe and admit that no success is achieved solely but by the efforts of an entire team and that’s what TIMES NOW has managed to do."
Flagship channel of Times Network, Times Now has consistently been the most watched English News Channel over the last nine years, and continues to dominate the market.
