The decision was announced at an editorial meeting. Goswami told his team that he will start something on his own.
Times Now was not a runaway success, but Goswami spun its ratings around with his loud television.
According to a report in The News Minute, In 2007, Times Now had beaten its rivals in the weekly ratings for the first time under Arnab Goswami, summoned everyone in the office to a cake before him. He looked around and spotted someone he had waged a one-sided cold war on, and warmly said, "Naomi, come here! Come here!" his first words to her in a full year. "I don't care about ratings,” he began, waving a knife at the newsroom, "but we're number one."
The interview based 'Frankly Speaking with Arnab' is, both in terms of viewership and impact one of the most followed interview on television, making headlines every week. Goswami is credited to revolutionised news coverage, anchoring for 100 hours during the 26/11 attack, spearheading the greatest exposes against corruption starting with the CWG scam, and including the 2G scam, the Kargil for Profit scam and others in 2010-11, the coverage of the Anna agitation, and path breaking interviews with Rahul Gandhi and Narendra Modi in 2014 that set the news agenda in the National Election."
