The channel’s commitment to the people to neither dilute its news format nor its quest for truth has driven it to the top of the viewership ratings across all time-bands.
Right from its launch in February 2019, the channel’s core focus has been on sustained people-driven campaigns, hard on-ground investigative journalism and using its platform to raise non-stop questions that fix accountability and demand justice for the people. From having 100 reporters along the border and the biggest names in national security in its studios after the Pulwama attack to deploying its Special Investigative Teams on-ground to dig out the truth of the Delhi Riots, Republic Bharat has constantly brought back news that matters to the people of India to Hindi news television.
Apart from its rise to the number 1 position in Hindi TV news in India, Republic Bharat has also been rated the most-watched South Asian news channel in the United Kingdom, thereby consolidating its leadership position amidst the diaspora audience.”
