For many, it would be the end of an era. Time Television Network is losing the Editor-in-Chief of its flagship news and business news channels Times Now and ET Now – Arnab Goswami – after a stint of nearly 10 years. Goswami’s destination next is still unclear but it is understood that he would be donning the entrepreneurial hat, in the media domain, in his new avatar.
Times Television Network is still in the process of announcing Goswami’s replacement. While BW Businessworld did not get any official comments at the time of filing the report, the development has been confirmed by a very senior company resource.
