9 Plus News Live Stream

9 Plus News is a 24-hour Telugu news channel covering Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, operated by GLIMS Broadcasting.

The Telugu states' news

The grid is built on news editions, political talk and current-affairs programmes following the politics, economy and society of both states, in Telugu. Its reporting runs from the governments in Hyderabad and Amaravati to the districts and their local events.

A crowded language market

Telugu has more news channels than most Indian languages, and the competition is on district reporting and on the speed of political coverage. Smaller channels work with leaner newsrooms and fewer bureaux, which shapes what they can cover and how deeply.

Advertising and ratings

Indian news channels are funded almost entirely by advertising, and rates follow the ratings that measurement agencies report each week. For a regional channel outside the top few, that means the schedule is built around the hours when ratings are measured rather than around the whole day.

Distribution

The channel broadcasts on Indian cable and satellite platforms and streams online, reaching Telugu speakers in the two states and in the United States and the Gulf.
