The TV channel was launched on October 15th 2009 although ABN has been in the business of providing News since 2002. While there are as many as 18 channels in the Telugu News space, a select few command a substantial share of the pie – one of them being ABN Andhrajyothy.

'INCISIVE & INSIGHTFUL' Journalism is the key USP of ABN Andhrajyothy. With its exposé of ND Tiwari's sex scandal leading to his resignation from the post of Governor, the channel drew acclaim and received renewed attention. ABN Andhrajyothy's contribution towards the youth of AP by way of conducting youth awareness and empowering programme “Youngisthan” in engineering colleges and “Open heart with RK” – one on one talk show designed to bring out inner personality of the celebrities also received a special commendation in the AP market.
