Star News, gets its news content and programming from the NDTV company,with whom Star had signed a 5 year contract.
Star News started out as the premier English news channel in India, however, all good things must come to an end. I donot wish to go into politics and other swampy areas to justify the bad rating, so take the example of the Indian Air Force and its MiG crashes, instead of investigating the crashes and the reasons behind them, like Ministry of Defence delays, etc, they opt for sensationalism like (sorry to say) small town rags. Their presenters seem quite ok, but their reporters seem to always always point out the negatives in a piece of news. I concede that the media's role is that of a watchdog, but manner in which they report, it seems that India a foul, bad place to live in, which by all accounts it is not.
I would ask them, if they read ms.com that they please try and be a little more like https://goodnewsindia.com !
Their programmes like We the People are some of the better programmes on TV today, however it's a pity that it comes once a week that too on a sunday.
