YK TV – Andhra News… Andhari News…
At YK TV we are a lot more than just the typical news platform. We are the voice of the land, the people, and the heritage of Andhra Pradesh. Based in the centre of the State at Vijayawada, we cover everything that is about Andhra-It’s news, issues and events with authenticity and accountability.
We are a group of professionals from the fields of Journalism, Mass Communication, Design, Law, Human Resource, etc. Several of us have extensive experience of over 10 years across some of the best institutions including The Hindu, Indian Express, Eenadu, Gemini, Times of India etc,. We bring a unique combination of experience, ethics, and energy together, presenting the news of Andhra Pradesh to people of the State and beyond.
Journalism is not just about the news headline. It is about recording the essence of our land. It is about giving a voice to the farmer in Anantapur, student in Guntur, artisan in Rajahmundry, and entrepreneur in Visakhapatnam. It is about documenting Andhra’s rich culture, political history, economic development, and aspirations of the people of Andhra.
Our Telugu culture focuses on an ancient legacy from Andhra society, in art, literature, cinema, social reform, and so on. We continue this legacy into the digital age, where our stories are imbued with the language, values, and identity of our people.
