MUMBAI: In a move that’s making noise for all the right reasons, Live Times—the “Global Multicast News Hub”—has roped in Hindi TV’s firebrand journo Deepak Chaurasia as director news. Known for his bulletproof journalism and gritty reportage over three decades, Chaurasia is set to add some serious muscle to the channel’s editorial engine.
The man who’s covered everything from battlefields and bomb blasts to political fireworks and street protests is now bringing his fearless firepower to Live Times. With a career that spans war zones, natural disasters, the 26/11 terror attacks and the CAA storm, Chaurasia promises to turbocharge the channel’s motto of “Complete Truth, Whatever It Takes.”
“Deepak becoming part of Live Times means more fire to Live Times’ core value of Satyam Shivam Sundaram. At a time when TRP has overtaken truth, and noise has overtaken news, Deepak with Live Times would contribute towards reversing the trend of TRP over truth and fakes over facts,” said Live Times founder, CEO and editor in chief Dilip Kumar Singh. “With Deepak’s journalistic gravitas and ground-level connect with the viewers and users, Live Times is not just building a newsroom but, building a movement for truth-first journalism.”
“I have always believed in journalism that serves people, not agendas,” said Deepak Chaurasia. He further added, “Live Times is that rare newsroom today that prioritizes authentic, verified reporting over virality. I am thrilled to be part of a mission that champions factual storytelling, asks uncomfortable questions, and puts viewers and users at the center of news & information.”
In his new role, Chaurasia will helm a soon-to-launch primetime show that puts verified news and deep-dive investigations front and centre. Expect fewer shouting matches and more substance—with boots-on-the-ground reports, spine-straight journalism, and just enough spice to keep eyeballs glued.
Reporting directly to Dilip Kumar Singh, Chaurasia’s arrival signals a sharp pivot for Live Times—one that blends tech, talent and truth to create content that travels across borders and platforms.
From Bharat to beyond, Live Times wants to own the narrative. And with Chaurasia now in the front seat, the channel’s news caravan just got a serious upgrade.
