  • News First enters Year 3 with a New Tagline,  ‘Fearless…For You’

    News First enters Year 3 with a New Tagline, ‘Fearless…For You’

    Mumbai: When News First started on 20 September 2020, it was the most extreme challenging times one can imagine.

    Started in the midst of Covid Phase 1.

    Welcomed without BARC ratings within 4 weeks of launch.

    Embraced by Covid Phase 2 soon after.

    The rollercoaster in the first 18 months didn’t deter News First.

    When the ratings eventually were restored, News First had broken into the Top 5. No mean achievement given the once in the many generations obstacles  upfront.

    News First had made a name for itself in super quick time with exclusives not  seen in Karnataka.  

    This includes political breaks, programming innovations like AI MAYA, high  impact investigations like Murugasri Scandal (the notorious religious head) –  which no one dared pursue, World Exclusive interview with KGF director Prashant Neel, Getting Karnataka’s most famous TV legal eagle,  TN Seetharam to host a weekend show on the channel – for the First time on  Indian News Television …the list goes on.

    Today, News First has become the channel of choice for Politics, Cinema and  Cricket.

    The channel is in the Top 3 in a number of markets, in reach and time bands. The brand is amongst the leaders on outube and Facebook too. Three years after being every moment for the people of Karnataka, News First  is making a departure.

    The channel is embracing the a new tagline, Fearless… For You.

    Speaking about this MD & CEO S Ravikumar said, “Every moment in our three year journey was about dare and care.  This is evident in the number of news breaks we dared to do and the number of  stories for the people we carried. We felt the time was right to translate our actions into our brand messaging. The existing tagline shows our softer version. The new tagline adds aggression to the softness.”

    Editor in chief Maruthi SH said,“Our dares and cares have always been for people in need. But the dares have extended to exclusive shows, exclusive interviews, exclusive  concepts and celebrating other achievers’ dares. To that extent, dare has a whole wide range of meanings for us at News First”

    Business head S Divaakar said, “Our news content was always our forte. People have helped us grow steadily. The market is seeing it week on week. My team is looking forward to surge with the aggressive new intent of the  brand.”

    A new year, a tagline, with new intent.

    News First surely has stood the test of challenging times.

    The times ahead will show how far they can go from the current position of  strength.

Riding on this heightened excitement, Star Sports, the official broadcaster of the marquee global tournament, unveils its highly anticipated campaign as the biggest cricket festival gets underway from 5 October to 19 November 2023.

The campaign film showcases discontented souls who crave to watch Team India win the World Cup trophy, which will provide them eternal salvation.

    “Lalbaugcha Raja Song 2023” audio song is sung by very talented Harshavardhan Wavare, composed by Trineeti Bros and penned by Vinayak Shinde & Trineeti Bros. What makes this music video even more exceptional is its association with Mumbai’s beloved dabbawalas, who have been the city’s unsung heroes for decades. Dabbawalas involvement in this video adds a touch of authenticity and heartwarming significance.

    Ganesh Chaturthi, the festival that resonates with millions of devotees across the nation, holds a special place in the hearts of Mumbaikars. At the epicentre of this grand celebration stands Lalbaugcha Raja, the deity revered by countless devotees. The ‘Lalbaugcha Raja Song 2023’ pays tribute to the Lord of Beginnings, encapsulating the spirit of devotion and commemoration that surrounds the festival.

    To mark this auspicious occasion, Shemaroo Bhakti’s DTH, Telcos, OTT & Cable will live stream the visuals of Bappa from the Pandal for ten consecutive days, extending its decade-long partnership with Lalbaugcha Raja.

    Shemaroo Entertainment non Bollywood category – head Arpit Mankar expressed “We are committed to continuing our tradition of connecting devotees to find their spirituality and faith, especially during the auspicious Ganesh Chaturthi festival. Over the past 10 years, Shemaroo Bhakti’s dedication to deliver the best of devotional content has only grown stronger, and our collaboration with Lalbaugcha Raja has evolved. Through the live streaming initiative, we aspire to bring Lalbaugcha Raja’s divine blessing to the devotees.”

    He further added “This year we have something new for our audience, the ‘Lalbaugcha Raja Song 2023’, which stands as a heartfelt offering to Lord Ganesha, symbolizing our deep reverence. It is a reminder that the Raja reigns not only in the place where he resides but also in every home and heart.”

    On this association, Lalbaughcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal president Balasaheb Kamble said, “Shemaroo Bhakti’s latest offering, the ‘Lalbaugcha Raja Song 2023,’ is a testament to the enduring collaboration between Shemaroo Entertainment and Lalbaugcha Raja Ganesh Utsav Mandal. This song will inspire stronger faith and devotion in people, and the video will depict how people come together in unity to celebrate their devotion.”

    Expressing his excitement at the song launch, Lalbaughcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal secretary Sudhir Salvi said, “As we celebrate Lalbaugcha Raja’s 90th anniversary, our decade old association with Shemaroo Entertainment fills us with gratitude. This year, Shemaroo’s ‘Lalbaugcha Raja Song 2023’, filmed in the sacred presence of the Lalbaugcha Idol itself at the famous Lalbaug Market Galli, stands as a magnificent tribute. May the ‘Lalbaugcha Raja ‘ resonate in our hearts, filling us with devotion and joy during this auspicious Ganesh Chaturthi.”

    Harshavardhan Wavare, the soulful voice behind the ‘Lalbaugcha Raja Song 2023’, said, “Collaborating with Shemaroo Bhakti and Lalbaugcha Raja for this project was a great experience. Our entire team’s devotion and love for Lalbaugcha Raja truly shines through in this song ensuring that it will etch into the hearts of the audience just like Bappa resides in our heart. I earnestly request everyone to shower their love and blessings upon ‘Lalbaugcha Raja Song,’ on Shemaroo Bhakti and make it the biggest song of the year”

    Mumbai Dabbawala secretary Kiran Gavande, expressed immense gratitude for the auspicious opportunity bestowed by Shemaroo Bhakti, “The chance to feature in a music video shot in the divine presence of Lalbaugcha Raja is truly cherished by the Dabbawalas,” says Gavande. “Our eternal connection with Lalbaugcha Raja Ganesh Utsav Mandal, which has endured for nearly a century, is a testament to the deep bonds that unite us with this iconic deity and the community.”
