NDTV started out as a content provider company for the public broadcaster Doordarshan. It started off in November 1988 by producing the 30-minute weekly news show The World This Week for Doordarshan. In 1989, NDTV created India's first live coverage and analysis of the general elections. In 1995 NDTV produced a national news show, "Tonight", which was telecast on Doordarshan.

In 1998 NDTV started India's first 24x7 news show in collaboration with Rupert Murdoch's STAR News Channel. Interestingly, during the initial years there was always a delay of 10 minutes which later shifted to five minutes between telecast and production of live news due to government restrictions. In 1999, NDTV launched its website.
