In 1995, NDTV presented a proposal to Doordarshan to move its production to a daily half hourly news bulletin on the second Doordarshan channel DD Metro. The proposal was accepted and the news bulletin called "News Tonight" was launched"." The Roys approached five major Indian business houses for investments and secured agreements from all five of them, which included the multinational Tata Group. The bulletin was the first daily domestic news broadcast in the country. The company also began producing shows such as "The News Hour" and "Good Morning India" for Doordarshan. Prannoy Roy was the anchor of the NDTV news bulletins, who in the process acquired a reputation for reliable, authentic and sophisticated news reporting. The news bulletins had gained both in credibility and were competing with entertainment channels in terms of viewership, which made the network sought after for partnerships by international news networks such as BBC and Rupert Murdoch's Star Network when restrictions on private participation were being lifted and Doordarshan's monopoly broken by satellite television.
