Kanak News

Kanak News originated in 2009 as Kanak TV, an Odia-language television news service established for audiences in Odisha. The channel’s launch gave it a regional identity from the outset: its language, headquarters, and editorial market were all connected to the state of Odisha rather than to a national Hindi- or English-language broadcast market. Bhubaneswar, the state capital, became the channel’s headquarters and operational base. The service is operated by Eastern Media Pvt. Limited. The available reference material does not identify the channel’s founder, a named editorial leader, or a separately disclosed ownership structure. It also does not provide financial data, audience measurements, or a detailed account of the company’s corporate history. Accordingly, the most clearly documented development is the transition from the original Kanak TV name to the Kanak News identity used in the referenced channel description. Kanak News functions as both a cable and satellite broadcaster. It has been carried on the GSAT 10 satellite as a free-to-air channel, giving viewers access without a subscription fee at the satellite-distribution level. This distribution model complements carriage through cable systems and supports the channel’s role as a regional mass-media service in Odisha. The channel’s stated tagline is “Paribartanara Swara,” translated as “the voice of change.” This message frames the brand as a news and public-discussion outlet connected to social and political developments in the region. Its documented program list shows a broad schedule rather than a narrow rolling-news format. Jatra Chalichi and Jeebanara Canvas represent named programs in the channel’s general schedule, while Business Leaders focuses on business-oriented content. Crime Reporter addresses crime reporting, and Page 3 suggests coverage of social, cultural, or entertainment-related subjects. The available historical record identifies Kanak News as a leading Odia news channel in Odisha, but does not supply a full chronology of later launches, rebrandings, ownership changes, or expansion into digital products. On the evidence available, the channel’s principal significance is its role as an Odia-language regional broadcaster: it combines television news distribution with magazine-style and specialist programming for an Odisha-centered audience.
