The channel was launched in May 2017, with motto – ‘States Make The Nation and ‘Nayi Bharat ka Naya News Channel’ – promising to highlight the voice of common man from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.[2]
Zee Hindustan decided to re-launch itself in 2018 in an anchor-less avatar to serve the basic purpose of being a news channel, which is to disseminate news in its purest form. The re-launched Zee Hindustan believes in the philosophy of ‘Ab anchor nahi, khabrein khud bolengi, kyunki aap samajhdar hain (not anchors, now news will speak for itself, for you are Smart)’.[3][4] The channel is currently available in Hindi, Tamil, Telegu, Kannada and Malayalam.[5] Zee Hindustan to relaunch as Anchor Less News Channel
