Launched in 2017 by veteran journalist Arnab Goswami, Republic TV quickly became a force in the Indian media landscape. Broadcasting 24/7 under the prominent Republic World network, the channel covers a wide range of topics, from politics and business to entertainment and sports.
Its dynamic style, featuring live broadcasts, in-depth interviews, and heated debates, has become a hallmark of Republic TV. A multi-platform presence, encompassing television, website, and mobile app, further expands the channel's reach.
However, alongside its popularity and substantial viewership, Republic TV has also been embroiled in controversy. The channel is frequently criticized for its perceived pro-government bias, evident in its selection and presentation of news.
Allegations of ratings manipulation and the spread of misinformation have further fueled doubts about its objectivity and credibility. Some critics argue that instead of focusing on investigative journalism and social critique, Republic TV often resorts to sensationalism and noisy debates to capture public attention.
