Zee unveils national Hindi news channel

India’s Zee Media has launched Zee Hindustan, a national channel covering news from a range of states in addition to the capital and metropolitan cities.


“In the present scenario, where other news channels from all the languages are busy discussing the national capital priorities, there will be one channel which will discuss the state’s news affairs which can influence the centre,” explained Jagdeesh Chandra (pictured), executive director & CEO Regional Channels, ZMCL. “Why do States like Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Jharkhand and Assam not set Agendas in Delhi? The answer to these questions lie in Zee Hindustan, because we believe that states make the Nation.”

“This picture will be the main focus of our special programme 'राजधानी से राजधानी तक', which will be aired seven days a week at 7pm. Not just eight stories, but our special programme will focus on 80 stories making it our agenda.”

Among the programming, Zee Hindustan will cover news from each state’s government, asking what each state’s chief minister has done for the people and what important announcements have been made. “Now, Indian audience will not wait for the end of the year to assess the performance of their chief minister, Zeeहिंदुस्तान will work each day to scrutinise the government’s work,” a statement said.

The channel is now available on direct-to-home (DTH) platforms Tata Sky, Dish TV, Airtel DTH and DD Direct.Resource :https://www.rapidtvnews.com/2017052347321/zee-unveils-national-hindi-news-channel.html#axzz4hu6j822a
