Kannada News Channel

The Supreme Court on Monday extended the stay till July 22 on the Karnataka High Court order that stopped the broadcast of Kannada news channel 'Power TV' over televising alleged sexual scandals involving some senior JD(S) politicians.

A Kannada news channel, Power TV, which did a sting operation claiming it proved the Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa's son BY Vijayendra is involved in corruption, has said it has been raided by the police. Following the raids, the channel has effectively shut down, with much of its infrastructure seized, its editors said.

Five Karnataka ministers are undergoing tests for coronavirus infection after they reportedly came in contact with the video journalist of a Kannada news channel who tested positive for COVID-19 last week, a senior minister said on Wednesday.

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting on Thursday served a showcause notice to a Kannada news channel for broadcasting a programme in which it purportedly said that the Centre would ''air drop money'' to the poor, owing to the COVID-19 lockdown.

The CEO of a Kannada news channel has been arrested by the Bengaluru police last night on charges of blackmail.
