A 24/7 English-language stream offering global news with an Indian perspective.
From Digital Roots to Round-the-Clock Streaming
Firstpost began as a digital news site in 2011 under the Network18 Group, one of India’s largest media conglomerates. Initially a platform for articles and analysis, it soon expanded into video storytelling—eventually launching Firstpost Live TV, a 24/7 online stream.
Unlike traditional broadcasters that extended from television to the web, Firstpost was born on the internet. It doesn’t depend on cable networks or satellite signals; instead, it streams directly to audiences worldwide through its website and YouTube channel. This digital-first foundation makes it faster, more flexible, and better suited to how modern audiences consume news.
Fast, Focused, and Factual
Language: Firstpost Live TV broadcasts entirely in English, catering to both India’s urban, globally connected audience and international viewers.
Coverage:
While it maintains a strong focus on India’s domestic affairs—politics, economy, defense, technology, and social issues—it also devotes significant airtime to international news. Programs such as Vantage, Firstpost America, and Firstpost Africa bring coverage from around the world, including:
United States & Europe: U.S. elections, European politics, and global markets.
Middle East & Asia: Conflict zones, diplomacy, and trade relations.
Africa: Economic growth, environmental policy, and emerging partnerships with India.
Rather than fixed quotas, Firstpost curates a fluid balance—Indian core stories framed within a global context—reflecting how national and international events increasingly overlap.

A New Kind of Newsroom
As part of Network18, which also operates CNN-News18 and News18 India, Firstpost Live TV benefits from an extensive news-gathering network.
Yet it functions as a digital innovation lab within the group—experimenting with real-time explainers, shorter live formats, and data-driven visuals.
Its editorial motto could be summed up as:
“Fast in delivery, factual in reporting, and fearless in analysis.”
