Republic Media Network, the media house owned by journalist Arnab Goswami, is set to make a significant entry into the Karnataka media landscape. Recent reports indicate that the Republic Media Network has successfully acquired Dighvijay 24×7, a Kannada news channel previously owned by Vijay Sankeshwar. However, the network has not yet officially confirmed this development.
Arnab Goswami had resigned as the editor-in-chief of Times Now in 2016, citing editorial differences. Following his departure, he announced his next ambitious venture, initially named Republic and later modified to Republic TV. Republic Bharat, a Hindi language news channel was launched on February 2, 2019, timing coinciding with India’s General Elections in 2019. Republic TV launched Republic Bangla, a Bengali language news channel, on March 7, 2021.
Arnab, who is widely perceived as a journalist-anchor inclined towards the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, was arrested in 2020 by the Mumbai police in a 2018 case pertaining to suicide of an interior designer Anvay Naik.
