The upcoming business news channel from Times Global Broadcasting Co. Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bennett, Coleman and Co. Ltd, has put in place its senior editorial team. The company is also in talks with potential content partners, but is unlikely to bring on board a strategic investor, said chief executive Chintamani Rao. The company bought back a 25.82% stake held by Reuters Singapore Pte Ltd early this year. Rao said the channel will be launched during the fourth quarter of the financial year.
Bloomberg’s Asia columnist Andy Mukherjee and former Business Today managing editor R. Sridharan are joining the channel as senior editors. Sidharth Dubey from Reuters TV has been hired as lead anchor and senior editor. All of them will report to ‘The Economic Times‘ executive editor Rahul Joshi, who is also heading the TV project. Former NDTV Profit senior editor Abheek Barman is also part of the team as consulting editor.
