Sansad Television is an Indian government television service which broadcasts programming of the two Houses of Indian Parliament. It was formed in March 2021 by amalgamating the existing house channels, Lok Sabha Television and the Rajya Sabha TV, although separate satellite channels are broadcast for each House.[1] Provisionally the channel will have about 35 themes on which programmes will be aired, and the programmes will be similar but in two languages: English and Hindi.
History
Ravi Capoor, a retired IAS officer was appointed as the CEO of the channel on 1 March 2021. "During the intersession period and beyond the working hours of Parliament, both will telecastcommon content to a large extent. The LSTV platform would telecast programmes in Hindi, while RSTV would do so in English. The two language variants, it was felt,enables better branding and increased viewership," a top official. The attempt is to go beyond the proceedings of the Houses and show the functioning of Parliament and parliamentarians when the House is not in session.[2][3][4][5]
