ABP Group may launch 3-4 regional news channels in next 3 years

After success in Bengal and Maharashtra, Kolkata-based Media Company, ABP Group, plans to launch three to four regional news channels in the next two to three years, in the western region followed by northern India, said ABO Group MD and CEO Dipankar Das Purkayastha.
It is learnt that recruitment for the Punjabi news channel has been completed in the Chandigarh office and the company is only waiting for the up-linking license from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.

“We want to become national media with multiple regional news channels. We have evaluated different regional markets and soon after the Punjabi channel launch, we would look at other regions,” Purkayastha told indiantelevision.com. He further said that the Punjabi news channel could be launched anytime and ABP was only waiting for a green signal from the authorities.
