Republic TV is an upcoming English-language news and current affairs television channel based in Mumbai, India. The channel will be launched by Arnab Goswami sometime in mid April. Republic TV will be a global media venture.
History
Arnab Goswami, then Editor-in-Chief of a 24-hour English news channel Times Now, resigned from the channel on 1 November 2016.
