BJP state President BS Yeddyurappa,Union Cabinet Minister for Chemicals, Fertilizers & Parliamentary Affairs Ananth Kumar,Karnataka energy Minister DK Shivakumar,Former Deputy chief minister of Karnataka R. Ashok and newly-elected mayor of Bengaluru Sampath Raj were present at the launch ceremony.
B.R.

While doing so, we enchant to give our best to Kannada homes with knowledge, information and thought-provoking content,”
TV5's foray into Karnataka came after a decade long successful run in Andhra Pradesh since its launch in 2007. TV5 Telugu has apparently been among the top two news channels of the region. TV5 is also the only Telugu news channel available in the USA on the Dish Network.
Karnataka News market is already overcrowded with 10+ lisenced news channels and dozens of local/cable news channels. But only 4 channels are able to pop up in TRP Chart. TV9 Kannada continues to be market leader followed by Public TV. Suvarna News and ETV Kannada is trying hard to gain the third position in Karnataka.
