NDTV has announced the launch of its flagship primetime show, The Buck Stops Here, to be anchored by Padmaja Joshi, Managing Editor and Primetime Anchor on NDTV 24×7. Guided by the theme ‘The End of Every Argument’, the debate is positioned as the most definitive conversation in Indian news, where the nation’s crucial questions are asked, debated, and concluded with clarity.
Every weeknight at 9 pm, The Buck Stops Here will focus on all that matters to India – the choices shaping governance, the shifts in the economy, the currents of society, and the role India plays on the global stage. Every night, The Buck Stops Here brings pointed questions, sharp analysis, and answers that leave no room for doubt.
This launch marks a defining step in the journey of a new NDTV for a new India – a newsroom committed to reflecting the aspirations of a confident nation and the responsibilities of a vibrant democracy. With Padmaja Joshi anchoring the conversation, the program promises a voice that is clear, firm, and India-first, ensuring that debate does not drift but arrives at answers that matter.
Speaking on the launch, Rahul Kanwal, CEO & Editor-in-Chief of NDTV, said “The Buck Stops Here is primetime as India deserves it – rigorous, and uncompromisingly focused on what matters most to the nation. Padmaja Joshi brings an editorial depth and clarity of vision that will ensure this is not just another show, but the end of every argument – a definitive moment in the national conversation. This is NDTV in its renewed spirit – sharper, bolder, and India-first.”
“I believe in being factual and direct on every issue and that’s exactly what we aim to deliver on The Buck Stops Here: a clear, definitive conclusion to every story, with no evasion and no prevarication”, added Padmaja Joshi
The Buck Stops Here premieres tonight on NDTV 24×7, and will hit the airwaves Monday to Friday at 9 pm – where India’s debates find their conclusion, and where the buck finally stops.
