## History

[edit]

ABN Andhra Jyothy was launched as a Telugu-language news channel in October 2009.[2][1] Aamoda Broadcasting Network which owns the Telugu daily newspaper Andhra Jyothi is the holding company of the channel. The channel has the tagline 'We Report, You Decide'.[1]

## Ownership

[edit]

As of April 2017, Aamoda Broadcasting Private Limited, the holding company of ABN Andhra Jyothy, held 87.39% of the shares and the promoter Vemuri Radhakrishna, a professional journalist, owned 9.19% of the shares.[4]

## Notable work

[edit]

The channel came to limelight by exposing the then Andhra Pradesh Governor N. D. Tiwari's sex scandal, leading to his resignation.[2][5][6][7]

## Controversies

[edit]

S. Janardhan, an advocate from Hyderabad, filed a petition in Ranga Reddy court seeking action against the misuse of funds by V. Radha Krishna, which were collected for the maintenance of Warangal-based conjoined twins Veena and Vani.[8][9][10] By June 2015, nearly Rs 25 lakh had been collected for the twins. The court directed the Saroornagar police to register a case under Section 406, 420, 403 and 120(b) and submit a detailed report on the incident by 16 November.[8][9][10]
