Sathiyam TV is a 24x7 Tamil news and current affairs channel headquartered at Royapuram in Chennai.
Sathiyam Television is a part of Sathiyam Media Vision Private Limited, Chennai.
History[edit]
The Modi government issued an official warning to the channel for supposed violation of programme code in two of its shows, both aired on 9 December 2014. Further, it has also issued show-cause notice for 3 other ‘violations’ in May 2015.[1]
The channel has received a lot of response following its whistleblowing in the selection process scam of TNPSC Group 1 service exam in February 2021.[2]
Attack[edit]
A man carrying a sword entered the headquarters of Sathiyam TV and damaged properties in August 2021.[3] The attacker even smashed the TV and decorative glass in the computer office with a handgun. He also made death threats to those who were on duty at the office. The attacker was a resident of Coimbatore, who arrived in a car with a Gujarat number plate. The Chennai Press Club has strongly condemned the incident terming it a ‘terror attack’.[4][5][6]
