CNN News18 (also known as Cable News Network News18 and originally CNN IBN) is an Indian English-language news television channel founded by Raghav Bahl based in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India. It is currently co-owned by Network18 Group and Warner Bros. Discovery.[1] CNN provides international coverage for the channel, while Indian Broadcasting Network concentrates on Indian and local reports.[2]

In May 2014, Reliance Industries announced it would be taking over Network18 Group. The move was touted as "the biggest-ever deal in the Indian media space".[3] Reliance Industries already had indirect control of the TV18 network by virtue of investments it made in Network18 starting from January 2012.[4][5]
