NewsX to get a new name
ITV Media’s head, Mr Kartikeya Sharma who is now the new owner of NewsX is learnt to have asked all staffers to share their views on the name change and also share ideas for new names. The new names being contemplated are INX News, IMN News, India News English and Nation 24. The team has also been invited to suggest a name other than these four. The last date of polling is July 24 after which a call will be taken on the rebranding.
ITV Media already operates a 24-hour Hindi news channel, India News. It also has six regional news channels including India News Bihar and India News Haryana.
NewsX has been around since 2008, when it launched in March under the leadership of Mr Arup Ghosh who held senior positions in channels like NDTV, Sahara Samay and Channel 7 (now IBN 7) in the past. INX Media which owned INX News was set up by former Star India CEO Peter Mukerjea in March 2007. The existing logo of the channel was designed by UK-based Red Bee Media.
