With the Sun TV group falling out of favour with the DMK leadership, the ruling party in Tamil Nadu has lost little time in seeking support of a rival television channel. It has roped in Raj TV to start a news-cum-entertainment channel that is expected to toe the DMK's line.

<b>The new channel is to be called Kalaignar TV, sporting the name by which DMK president and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi is known to his supporters and in political circles for many decades. 'Kalaignar' means 'artist' in Tamil.</b>

Raj TV managing director M Rajendran told mediapersons that the news channel would soon get off the blocks and that it would be the first among 11 news channels it planned to start. It also planned to start a Hindi channel. However, asked whether it had the patronage of the DMK leadership, he did not give a categorical reply, saying 'Kalaignar' could mean any artist and not the DMK chief alone.

Rajendran had told some mediapersons that 'it would function in the same way that Sun TV had functioned.' However, when asked to clarify this point, he was at pains to explain that this meant that it would have news and entertainment content similar to the Sun TV and not that it would toe the DMK line.
