There is no doubting the fact that Prannoy Roy is the biggest and most respected name in the Indian news television business. Even his competitors acknowledge it and recognise his contribution to the genre. Agreed the Barkha Dutt episode and the various financial troubles his network has faced may have dented his image, but he’s still the best. And when it comes to elections, he wins hands down.

Which is why around election results, NDTV 24x7 is the channel to switch to. The combination of Prannoy and market research veteran Dorab Sopariwala is outstanding.  If Vinod Dua would’ve been around, it would’ve been even better but then the channel isn’t bi-lingual.
