Puthiya Thalaimurai TV is a Tamil news channel headquartered at Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. It is run by Chennai-based The New Generation Media Corporation, along with Puthiya Thalaimurai Magazine. The Channel is known for promoting the view of Church when reporting events related to KKNPP, the Sri Lankan Tamil issue, Farmers protest, Jallikkatu protests and the Kachatheevu issue. It also report various issues related to Tamil Nadu and Central government departments in a way that create and fuel protests against the central government in the name of Tamil identity. The Channel invested disproportionate coverage time and run scroll texts round the clock in promoting and sustaining the illiterate and mass-mobilized protest against Hydro-carbon extraction at Neduvasal even though the extraction is going on for more than a decade. The channel also campaigned implicitly against Pepsi and Coca-Cola under the cover of promoting natural drinks and ran unique side bars for the purpose.
Puthiya Thalaimurai TV launched on 24 August 2011. It broadcasts news, discussion, documentary and infotainment programmes.
In November 2011, the channel issued a press release stating it had topped the TAM (Television Audience Measurement) ratings.
In March 2015, the Puthiya Thalaimurai office was attacked by a group of men who hurled two bombs into it; there were no casualties in the incident.
Two tiffin-box crude bombs were hurled at the office of Tamil news channel Puthiya Thalaimurai on Thursday morning (12 March 2015). The bombs exploded with a loud noise, but no one was injured nor was any property damaged. This attack was in response to the Puthiya Thalaimurai Channel that had planned to air a debate-programme on the thali or mangalsutra. The Hindu Munnani planned to protest outside the channel’s office against the programme on March 8, following which this attack took place. Activists of the group later attacked the channel crew which was to cover the protest. Ten members of Hindu Munnani were arrested.
