ABP News has returned to the UK after being away from the market for a few months.

ABP Group , one the the top media houses in India , was present in the UK market through its earlier brand name - Star News. Star News was first launched in UK in October 2000 and was available till June 2012.

On June 1st 2012, the channel was rebranded into its current avatar ABP News, in sync with the International Identity Change. Post this, the channel continued to be available in UK till November 2012.
ABP News Network is India's Number 1 News Network which provides quality news to the television viewers. ABP News is a premium news channel which promises to keep each individual informed and abreast with news and current affairs.

Within the UK market there was a huge gap in the news space for quality and in-depth coverage of Indian news via a Hindi medium. The ABP News launch has filled that gap for UK Asian viewers. With a strong line-up of programs such as 24 Ghante 24 Reporter, City 60, Saas Bahu aur Saazish, Pradhanmantri and Fatafat, ABP News is reaching out to all generations of Asians who want news and updates from India. ABP News is a leader in political reporting and analysis in India .

Looking at the UK Market and viewer preference, ABP News is available on major digital platforms with access to live feed through its website: www.abpnews.in. A highly active & updated channel on YouTube (www.youtube.com/abpnews) with widely liked & engaging face book page (www.facebook.com/abpnews) offers viewers choice to interact with the brand and access to daily news.

Ashok Venkatramani, CEO of ABP News, said "Since the switch off of the channel in November 2012, there was a huge latent demand for our channel in the UK Market. There were numerous calls to us checking on the re-availability of the channel in UK market. Viewers in UK were sorely missing the channel and regular news updates from India. The launch of ABP News in the UK will enable us to achieve the objective of reaching out back to this audience"

Notes to the editor:
The channel is available free on the SKY Digital Satellite Platform at Channel Number 817. ABP News is being distributed by Path Breakers, the same company who were responsible for Sahara One.
