Tara Newz was an Indian Bengali-language satellite and cable 24-hour news and current affairs television channel owned by the Saradha Group, a chit fund company.[2] It was launched on 21 February 2005, airing regional news coverages, after being split from Tara Bangla, which was launched on 28 April 2000. Tara Newz was targeted to Bengali-speaking audiences in both India and Bangladesh.[3][2] It is broadcast from Tara's headquarters in Salt Lake, Kolkata.[2] Due to financial reasons, the channel was shut down in 2013.[4]
