In a bold move to counter the rising tide of sensationalism in the media space, India’s first Global Multicast News Hub, Live Times, has launched its flagship weekend show, ‘Facts & Figures’, a programme that seeks to reshape journalistic priorities by returning to truth-driven, data-backed storytelling. The show, anchored by veteran journalist Rana Yashwant, airs every Saturday at 8:30 pm.

According to a press note by Live Times, ‘Facts & Figures’ is positioned as a clear break from the noise-heavy, headline-first race dominating primetime television. Designed for audiences who are seeking clarity over chaos, the show pledges a strong editorial commitment to integrity, rigorous research, and unbiased presentation. It is Live Times’ conscious response to growing concerns around misinformation and diluted journalistic ethics.

Rana Yashwant, who brings decades of field experience and editorial gravitas, leads the show with his trademark composure and analytical depth. Each episode of ‘Facts & Figures’ delves into pressing national matters—systemic challenges, public policies, and citizen-centric developments—unpacking them with facts, verified data, and a calm narrative tone. The show promises to offer not just information, but explanation: the “why” behind the news.

“As an editorial product, this isn’t just a show. It’s a statement,” said Dilip Kumar Singh, Founder of Live Times. “We are not chasing chaos. We are committing ourselves to journalism that guards democracy and empowers citizens. Facts & Figures is part of our editorial promise—unflinching, deeply verified, and entirely people-first.”

Rana Yashwant echoed the sentiment, stating, “In a time when misinformation spreads faster than facts, it is vital to build trust again. ‘Facts & Figures’ is a show rooted in responsibility. It’s not about urgency—it’s about understanding. We want to help viewers connect the dots and see through the noise.”

‘Facts & Figures’, which began airing on June 7, is just the first step in a broader editorial expansion by Live Times. The channel has confirmed that Rana Yashwant will also anchor two more weekend prime-time shows in the coming months. These shows will focus on governance, policy critique, and public opinion, continuing the network’s approach of presenting unfiltered perspectives grounded in truth.

The show is available on multiple platforms, including DD Free Dish (Channel 100), Tata Play (539), Airtel Digital TV (385), Dish TV (665), Sikka Cable (519), and Jio TV (3069). Viewers can also stream episodes via Tata Play Mobile, Airtel Xstream, Dish TV Watcho, DD Waves, and online at www.livetimes.news.

In a media environment increasingly shaped by algorithms and urgency, Live Times positions itself with a tagline that underscores its editorial DNA: Complete Truth, Whatever It Takes.
