NDTV Good Times is the flagship channel of NDTV Lifestyle, which is owned by New Delhi Television.
Launched in September 2007, NDTV Good Times quickly became India's top-ranked English-language lifestyle television channel - rapidly drawing in its target audience of socially upbeat, well-travelled, cosmopolitan viewers who want to live in style, admire fashion, are adventurous about food and travel and want more out of every moment in life with both back-packing and high flying budgets. NDTV Good Times presented fresh, original programming that gave its viewers mantras on how to enjoy food both highway and Michelin star, find good health through salsa and yoga, fashion on ramps both Indian and global and how to relish travel and luxury from both far and near. The line-up of shows covered every aspect of the lifestyle genre to portray and cater to an increasingly global India.
With the maturing lifestyle space in India at an inflection point, and as pioneers in that space, NDTV Good Times redefined the lifestyle entertainment category codes once again in 2013 by revamping not just its looks but also its programming. In a nutshell, India's oldest lifestyle channel is now it’s youngest. Not just in looks, but even in attitude. NDTV Good Times is about lifestyle programs, content and experiences that excite, encourage and incite the Indian youth to live young and live an awesome life on the edge. It presents interesting food, fashion, travel and destination ideas in a language the young and adventurous Indians can enjoy vicariously and learn to do in real life as they live it up and push the limits. The programming of the channel is now more impulsive, interactive and action oriented with a younger and edgier attitude. The new logo, icons, indents and a vibrant and dynamic colour palette are a testament to the channels’ continuing evolution as India’s premier lifestyle entertainment destination.
The channel's tag-line is #LiveYoung #LiveIndian, the only socially integrated tagline in India, which integrates and recognizes social media as a part of the channels’ DNA. It exhorts the NDTV Good Times viewers to live young and be proud of being an Indian; it’s a call to action, it exemplifies what the brand stands for and what it asks of its viewers and consumers. With LiveYoung LiveIndian as the mantra, the channel stays in tune with viewers throughout the week with their dedicated categories such as; ‘Good Night with Good Times’, ‘Good Food with Good Times’, and ‘Good Travel with Good Times.
