ABP’s foray into electronic media began with STAR News — the leading 24-hour national news and current affairs television channel in Hindi. STAR News was made an official member of the ABP family on September 19, 2003. Broadcasted by Media Content and Communications Services (MCCS) — a joint venture between the ABP Group and STAR, it has swiftly come into its own as a leader in the Indian news business — setting the agenda for others to follow.

Positioned as the people’s channel, STAR News focuses on relevant news in a cutting-edge format. Since its inception, the 24-hour Hindi news channel has grown to command a significant viewership and is the first and only global Indian news channel. With an accent on reporting news that impacts its viewers, STAR News aims to fulfill its mission of ‘Aapko Rakhe Aagey’ and represent the realities and aspirations of the people. As a guiding philosophy, STAR News believes in reporting news that is relevant and makes a difference to its viewers’ lives.

Novel programming and ‘Breaking News’ are hallmarks of the channel. Apart from reporting news in India, its links with international news agencies enable the channel to deliver international news as it happens. With top programmes such as STAR Savera, Satyameva Jayate, City 60, National Reporter, Wah! Cricket, Sansani and Pol Khol, STAR News ensures its viewers are fully informed and engaged.
