MUMBAI: Times Now, one of the most popular English news channels in India, is launching ‘India Upfront' with Rahul Shivshankar’. As the name suggests it is a path breaking new show that will put hard facts – upfront -- for the nation to assess. It will be a 60 minute show Monday to Friday at 8 pm, starting today, 23 January, 2017 hosted by Rahul Shivshankar, Times Now chief editor.

Shivshankar said, “The show fills a massive void at prime time on news channels as most of them have fallen victim to the temptation of putting rhetoric ahead of facts therefore compromising on long-held values that separate news from propaganda.”

He further reiterated that through the show, Times Now will bring back the focus on facts that will construct the narrative around verifiable information to the viewers with an all-around holistic view of events that touch their lives.

Times Now, known for its vociferous debates and also seen as agents of change by the Indian diaspora in over 88 countries, is launching the show with a vision to present, captivate and inform viewers about daily events that affect the citizens of the country.
