EntMnt Xclusive Arnab Goswami's new channel will be called 'Republic'

[THAKUR]

Exactly a month after his last show on Times Now, senior journalist Arnab Goswami has announced that his new venture would be called Republic. Goswami had resigned from Times Now on November 1. Rahul Shivshankar has since taken over as Editor In Chief of the news channel.

Reports suggest the channel will start airing before the crucial Uttar Pradesh elections in the first quarter of 2017.

Goswami shot to fame for his daily prime time debate show ‘The News Hour’ that is reported to bring in over 60 per cent revenue for the news channel and has a dedicated audience base across the country. He also conducts detailed interviews with politicians, sportspersons and celebrities on ‘Frankly Speaking’. Because of Goswami’s primetime appearance, Times Now has been able to sideline a lot of the older players in the English new space. This success had led to Arnab Goswami being promoted as President, News, of Times Now and ET Now.

He resigned after working at the top for 10 years at Times Now. Goswami started his career at The Telegraph in Kolkata.

Goswami was mum on the nature of the project or the investors funding it or when the venture would be launched. Industry sources, however, opined that it may be up and running (as a news channel) on 27 January 2017. Goswami, reportedly, has offers dangling for many of his former colleagues in Times TV Network. According to company sources, quite a few may also join their former editorial boss’ new venture.

After about a fortnight’s speculation, the news about Goswami exiting Times group as the editor-in-chief of Times Now and ET Now became official in the first week of November 2016. Some media reports, which indiantelevision.com could not confirm independently, had indicated that the departure was not on as much a friendly terms as the celebrity news anchor had expected
