In a media landscape often dominated by noise, audiences across India have made a discerning choice – quietly, thoughtfully, and with purpose.
According to the latest BARC ratings (SOURCE: BARC I ALL INDIA I 20-23’25 I 22+ ABC I 6 TO 24 HRS I SHARE%), NDTV 24×7 has emerged as the clear No.1 English news channel in the country, not for dramatics or decibels, but for its quiet pursuit of truth. Consistently.
This is not just a ratings triumph, but a reaffirmation of what journalism is meant to be. When the air is thick with opinion masquerading as news, and noise is often confused with relevance, NDTV’s unwavering commitment to facts, dignity, and depth has found deep resonance with audiences who expect more and deserve better.
During some of the most emotionally charged stories in recent memory – the Ahmedabad air crash, the Bengaluru stadium stampede, and the chilling honeymoon murder, NDTV 24×7 stood out not by being first, but by being right. Ankit Tyagi’s early presence at the crash site was marked not by sensationalism but by clarity and compassion. Vishnu Som and Shiv Aroor brought years of experience to bear, offering viewers not just updates, but understanding – news that informed, with responsibility.
NDTV’s ascent to leadership reflects a newsroom that refuses to be swept up by the winds of virality. It honours journalism that listens before it speaks, that investigates before it asserts, and that remembers that at the heart of every story is a human being, not a headline.
‘This recognition is a profound responsibility,’ said Rahul Kanwal, CEO and Editor in Chief, NDTV. ‘In a landscape of constant noise, we remain committed to signal. We report not just with urgency, but with humility. Not just to break news, but to build understanding.’
NDTV 24×7’s march to the top is what journalism was always meant to be: informed, fearless, and fair. In times of uncertainty, India is turning not to the loudest voice, but to the one it trusts most.
NDTV 24×7 – The benchmark of credibility. The choice of a discerning new India.
