History

NDTV Hindu was launched on 16 May 2009 which was owned by NDTV (51%) and The Hindu Group (49%).[1] It was started as Chennai city-specific English news and entertainment channel and broadcast only in Chennai.

After Dina Thanthi group took over NDTV Hindu, they rebranded the channel as Thanthi TV.[2][3] Initially it was a Chennai city specific channel but after the acquisition process was completed, it was rebranded and relaunched on 13 November 2012 as 24-hour Tamil news channel which serves and broadcasts to Tamil Nadu, India.[4]
