Clarification: Raj TV’s Raj News continues; T News operates as separate entity
Raj TV has clarified to exchange4media that Raj News Telugu continues to run as a news channel, managed by Raj TV. The Telangana Broadcast Corporation-owned T News is a separate entity.
In context to an exchange4media article published on July 4, 2011, headlined ‘Raj News renamed as T News; plans to launch Telugu GEC soon’, Raj TV has clarified that following the termination of agreement between Telangana Broadcasting and Raj TV, the former has set up a new entity T News.
Raj TV’s Raj News continues to be a Telugu news channel. A Raj TV official explained, “It is no longer a Telangana news channel. It is now managed by Raj TV itself.”
T News officials also clarified that under the agreement with Raj TV, Telangana Broadcasting was managing Raj News for a period of one year. In April 2011, Telangana was issued its own licence, and with that it started T News.
