MUMBAI’S 24 HOURS NEWS CHANNEL ON THE WEB STATION HISTORY
NMTV is Navi Mumbai Television’s 24-hour News Channel. The idea of NMTV was born in the summer of June 2000, when Dr. RaviSubbaiah – the Editor-in-Chief (and the first reporter of a local news station to become a government accredited news reporter) decided to establish a local cable news channel. From the start, the idea behind NMTV was to combine advanced news-delivery technologies with a viewer-driven format.
The channel was founded by Dr. Ravi Subbaiah, a physically challenged person who has ensured that NMTV stays as a media independent of government, political party and any other special interests is making a yeomen contribution to journalism in the city, as a whole. Dr. Ravi Subbaiah has evidently resolved to assert the editorial independence of the news channel, which is the key to the best in journalism by sparing no effort to endure its economic independence.

The quality that gives any media its distinction is the collective contribution of the team. Under Dr. Ravi Subbaiah, NMTV has been home to the city’s finest talent. Some of the best recognized faces on the network are :

Sana is the youth face of NMTV. Young, fresh and enthusiastic, she redefines neighborhood reportage in her own creative and innovative style.

NMTV Mission
Free press and democracy are inseparable and media owners play a vital role in the development of both. Dr. Ravi Subbaiah believes in the public’s right to know, committed to objectivity, genuinely serving public interest NMTV marches on seeking out the truth, above all things, and to present to the viewers, not such things as the ruling powers and authorities would wish them to show, but the bare truth.
NMTV has a moral and a material existence. Undoubtedly the standards of journalism set by NMTV in the 21st century city speaks high of its balance of both, elevating it to extra-ordinary eminence as the best, accurate, credible and authentic news telecaster in the city.
Dr. Ravi Subbaiah, with dynamic vision of the role of the media in a democratic and rapidly changing society continues to lead his warriors in a revolutionary war every moment.
