Apart from a number of publications, the group also controls TV Today, which owns the popular Hindi news channel Aaj Tak in December 2000. TV Today, whose CEO is G Krishnan is a listed company whose shares are traded on the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange. Other than Aaj Tak they also run three other channels – 'Headlines Today' an English language news channel, which has not been able to dent the lead of channels like NDTV, 'Tez' a snappy-format news channel, using a concept borrowed from CNN Headline News but in Hindi and Aaj Tak Dilli a local news channel for Delhi. A Business news channel in collaboration with Bloomberg is also expected shortly.
