Is HT launching a TV news channel?

Is the Hindustan Times (HT) group set to launch a TV news channel? If so, this could be its next step towards competing with the Times Group since the latter has recently launch the Times Now TV channel.

Remember HT Group launched Mint this year to fill its gap of a financial daily. The Times group has The Economic Times, though the comparison might be bit unfair.

By the way, LiveMint.com recently reported that India will see 100 new TV channels launching by the end of this year.

    Yes, I think so. One of my friends (journalist) told me that he is quitting his job after Diwali to join pilot team of New HT- MINT TV channel.

    Hope he was not joking. 
