| TV18 Group is now 'Network18' |

Leading media house TV 18 Group has been rechristened 'Network18' starting Sunday. The new Network18 branding will unify all existing businesses like TV18, GBN, Web18, Homeshop18, Viacom18, Studio18, Events18, and so on, of the TV18 Group under an unified banner. Future businesses too will reflect the new corporate branding.
"We have come a long way since TV18 began in 1992 as a small production house. From television news to filmed entertainment, Network18 leaves little untouched and unconquered, thus taking it a step closer to becoming the undisputed media mega brand! Despite our rapid growth and diversification, the one thing that has not changed, is our vision to be 'better than the best' and to continuously set new standards in this fast growing industry," said Raghav Bahl, managing director, Network18.
The $2 billion group promoted by Raghav Bahl has business across the space – television broadcasting, internet, motion picture business, event management, and so on.
"The unified identity will help us harness the power of our individual brands and build an even stronger relationship with all our stakeholders. It is an exhilarating moment for all of us," said Haresh Chawla, Group CEO, Network18.
The new corporate identity is represented by a red and white Network 18 logo. The re-branding has been designed by Ray + Keshavan, brand identity consultants.
Network 18 is the holding company of TV 18 and GBN which operate business and general news channels like CNBC TV18, CNBC Awaaz, CNN-IBN, IBN7, soon to be launched IBN-Lokmat. The group has partnered with Time Warner, Jagran Group, NBC Universal and Lokmat Group in the past for roll-out news channels. A few months back the group formed a joint venture with US media company Viacom to foray in to the entertainment broadcasting space. Through Viacom 18 the group will launch a Hindi general entertainment channel and several other channels.

HSBC Investments (Singapore) Ltd. has increased its stake to 9.10 per cent in The Indian Film Company (IFC), a specialist film investment firm where TV18 Group has substantial interest.
HSBC holds 5.01 million equity shares in IFC, following its recent purchase in the market. IFC is listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange.
"HSBC has recently bought in the market and increased its stake in our company," confirms IFC CEO Sandeep Bhargava to Indiantelevision.com.
HSBC made a purchase of 1.08 million equity shares of IFC in the market for a consideration of £ 817,000 (Rs 65.36 million) in mid-December.
Network18 Fincap Ltd has 18.18 per cent stake in IFC and BK Media Mauritius Pvt Ltd 3.45 per cent. Raghav Bahl is a director of IFC and substantial shareholder of both Network 18 Fincap and BK Media Mauritius.
Viacom Brand Solutions holds 4.55 per cent while Halbis Capital Management has 11.05 per cent, Elara Capital 10.90 per cent and Dundee Leeds Management 9.09 per cent (as of 31 July, 2007).
The Indian Film Company raised £55 million (Rs 4.4 billion) through an initial public offering (IPO) this year. The company seeks to invest in films where it retains full ownership of all Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), although ownership may be shared with co-producers, directors and actors if necessary.
IFC has taken worldwide distribution of Welcome and Jab We Met. The co-productions include Bhootnath, Little Zizou, Halla Bol, Golmaal Returns and Loot.

I am totally confused by this company... it has far too many names.
TV-18, network 18, IBN etc. I see two prices on the ticker, one is network 18 and one is IBN. I am attracted to IBN, but then i read that network 18 holds 20 percent of ibn...
Could someone demystify all these entities for me and state exactly what is going on, and that if someone is interested in this group, what share one should be getting, network 18 , ibn, tv-18..
totally confused..  |

Good news is: You are not alone.
Perhaps even Behl sa'ab also could also be in the same boat. There are rumours doing rounds that he is mulling formation of a demystifying committee of 18 senior members to understand the web.
