10TV is an Indian Telugu-language 24-hour news channel focused on the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. It was launched on 16 March 2013[1] with the backing of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM).[2][3] The channel was funded through crowdfunding from various affiliated associations and unions of CPM.[4][5] It was marketed as an independent channel with a co-operative type ownership, free from the influences of big businesses. In 2018, there was a change in the ownership of the channel. It was reportedly bought by business houses close to some politicians.[2]
