Asianet News is an Indian Malayalam-language free-to-air news channel, operated by the Asianet News Network, a subsidiary of Jupiter Capital Ventures. The channel is based in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. Malayalam general entertainment channels, Asianet, Asianet Plus, and Asianet Movies, owned by JioStar (a joint venture between Viacom18 and Disney India) presently have no connection with the Asianet News Network channels. Asianet, Asianet Satellite Communications and Asianet News were founded by Raji Menon. Initially, Raji Menon owned a 93% stake. A 5% stake was with Raghu Nandan (Menon’s elder brother). Sashi Kumar was a paid employee of Asianet and Raji Menon's nephew, whom Menon gifted a 2% stake first, increased to 26% and then to a 45% stake later at Sashi Kumar's request. Raji Menon bought back the shares, earlier gifted to Sashi Kumar in 1999 at an agreed price, and took over full control of Asianet. More information...
