The Associated Broadcasting Company Ltd (ABCL) is one of the fastest growing media companies in India today. We started with a 24-hour news channel (TV9 AP) in Andhra Pradesh in 2004, and quickly became a ratings leader there with our unique brand of bold and fearless journalism. In just four years we’ve added five more channels to our bouquet, each a major player in its métier:  

• TV9 Karnataka– the first news channel in Kannada, and a runaway TRP topper
• TV9 Gujarat – the only Gujarati news channel, and a resounding success
• Indiavision– fierce competitor in the Malayalam news space
• Kolkata TV – path-breaking Bengali news channel
• Sanskriti –niche channel in Telugu devoted to faith and culture
  

Four new channels are all set to beam up in 2008:

• TV9 New Delhi (Hindi) – will make us a national player
• TV9 Mumbai (Hindi) – our stake in the financial capital
• Bangalore 9 (English) – a happening channel for our most happening city
• TV9 Chennai (Tamil) – an independent channel for an independent people

That will make ABCL a truly pan-Indian broadcaster located in every major metropolis in the country, and articulating the concerns of India’s millions in the language most accessible to them.

ABCL is promoted by iLabs Capital, a $350 million India-focused venture capital fund.
