TV NOW, operated by the Kerala Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI), will deliver programming in high definition to 40 million viewers across the state of Kerala in southwest India. Station management prides itself on its modern, forward-thinking approach in offering round-the-clock news that is accessible to viewers via smart phones, tablets, and other devices.
As the only business consortium to launch a brand new channel in India, it's important for us to have the most modern technologies in place to reach our millions of viewers in a timely and efficient manner, said Bhagath Chandrasekhar at TV NOW.

Integrating with Grass Valley K2 media servers and storage, the solution offers an expandable foundation for new applications and workflows. Perfect for news studios, the LDX Flex is an extremely affordable camera that delivers high-quality images with exceptional performance.
With TV NOW, we aim to create an exceptional television viewing experience and the only way to do that is with superior technology in place. Grass Valley's expertise and experience in broadcast technologies made them the obvious choice for us, and we are so pleased to be working with them on this important project, commented K.N. Marzook, Chairman at KCCI.
The broadcast market in India is currently going through a period of exciting change and is a vital part of Grass Valley's pathway, said Stephen Wong, Senior Vice President of Asia Pacific, Grass Valley. We're excited to show broadcasters how our products can not only enable them to better manage their on-air operations but ensure flexibility for the future growth of their stations. Our solutions integrate seamlessly with TV NOW's installed equipment, creating a one-stop solution to reach viewers faster, with enriched quality as news breaks around the globe. It also marks the first time GV Director and GV STRATUS will be deployed in India and signifies a powerful step forward for Grass Valley's presence in India's growing broadcast market
