How Spandana TV grew with the coast

From a Chitpadi cable newsroom to a regional satellite and digital broadcaster, Spandana TV’s story is rooted in coastal Karnataka’s communities.

2018

Launch in Chitpadi, Udupi

  • Spandana TV was officially established in Chitpadi, Udupi to serve communities overlooked by larger Bengaluru-centric networks.
  • The channel built its identity around hyper-local news, regional politics, and administrative issues across Udupi and Dakshina Kannada.
2019–2021

Cultural Integration & Live Coverage

  • Live broadcasts of Yakshagana, Kambala, temple utsavas, and community programs made the channel part of coastal Karnataka’s daily rhythm.
  • Local enterprise events and public gatherings expanded its role beyond news into community participation.
2022–Present

Digital Pivot & Global Reach

  • Spandana TV expanded online to reach coastal Karnataka’s diaspora with digital-first news, festivals, and entertainment programming.
  • YouTube-first formats such as Lunch Hour News and cultural streams helped build thousands of digital viewers.
  • Programs like Karunadu Got Talent strengthened its role as a launchpad for young regional artists and performers.

Editorial Standard

Trust is the main product

The homepage should feel modern, but the promise is old-school journalism: verify, explain, and publish with accountability.

Accuracy Before Speed

We slow down when facts need context, confirmation, or correction.

Editors Stay Accountable

AI supports the desk, but people approve the story and own the judgment.

Useful AI, Clear Limits

Automation handles repetitive work while editorial standards guide every output.

Public Interest First

We prioritize stories that help communities understand what changed and why it matters.

Local Context Matters

Coverage keeps Karnataka’s districts, languages, and lived realities at the center.

Transparent Process

Our workflow is built to make sourcing, review, and production decisions traceable.

Responsible AI Use

Ethics, consent, and safety rules guide every generated script, voice, and visual.
