The news of Arnab Goswami’s resignation sent tremors across newsrooms and the social media went berserk. Over the last couple of days, the channel has been flashing, “Arnab will be back tomorrow night”. Guess, that will come to an end till the later half of November 2016.

The Times Group has accepted the resignation of the president news and editor-in-chief of Times Now, ET Now and Magicbricks Now. Goswami will remain in his current position with Times Network till the later half of November 2016 and will continue anchoring the flagship show The Newshour till then.

“Times Network cherishes the decade-long association with Arnab. We are sure he will do well in his next endeavor and our good wishes are with him,” said Times Network MD and CEO M K Anand.

In the spirit of reciprocity, Goswami remembered his long journey with the channel and shared, “It’s been an exciting ride at Times Network. We have changed the way news is done and I have worked with fantastic professionals in this journey. To these professionals, I dedicate the success of the last decade as I look forward now to the future.”

The nation has to only remain calm till we hear next from Goswami. Only time can say what will happen to Times Now whose identity has been linked to its most vocal anchor from over a decade.
