History

When STAR News launched in 1998, it was at first a Bilingual English/Hindi News Service, and was initially run in partnership with NDTV. But when the agreement, with the NDTV expired, STAR News was transformed into a Hindi news service.

[edit] Controversy

STAR News has stirred up frequent controversy by broadcasting "pseudo"-sensational and often exaggerated reports of events in India. Most of the programming and bulletins on the channel are highly opinionated. Star News is a good example of tabloid television.
