Overview
ABC Television is a Nepali television news channel established in 2008 and headquartered in Kathmandu. It broadcasts primarily in the Nepali language and covers national news, public affairs, politics, society, and issues affecting communities across Nepal. The channel is operated by ABC Media Group Pvt. Ltd. and maintains reporting coverage in major cities, giving it a nationwide news-gathering orientation rather than a narrowly local focus. The channel presents itself as a public-affairs-oriented broadcaster, with attention to social issues and the experiences of marginalized people and communities. Its programming includes news coverage and discussion-based content. One identified program is Outlook, a Saturday-night talk show hosted by Shubha Shankar Kandel, who serves as the channel's chairman and editor-in-chief. Kandel is also associated with Nepal's media sector through his presidency of the Nepal Media Society and has written more than a dozen books on media and political subjects. ABC Television's brand identity is therefore tied to Nepali-language journalism, political and social discussion, and nationwide reporting. Publicly available reference material does not establish detailed information about its ownership structure, launch programming, audience size, revenue, distribution technology, or financial performance. It is best understood as a Nepal-focused news-media brand rather than an international television network. Its official web presence extends the channel's news identity beyond television and provides an additional outlet for ABC-branded media content.
History
ABC Television was established in Nepal in 2008 as a Nepali-language television news channel. It is based in Kathmandu and is operated by ABC Media Group Pvt. Ltd. From its inception, the channel's identifiable role has been that of a national news and public-affairs broadcaster, covering political, social, and general-interest developments in Nepal. The channel's reporting model includes correspondents or reporters in major cities, supporting coverage beyond the Kathmandu Valley. Its stated editorial focus extends to social concerns and the circumstances of marginalized people and communities. This gives ABC Television a broader civic and social-issues remit than a channel focused exclusively on headline news or entertainment. Shubha Shankar Kandel is identified as the channel's chairman and editor-in-chief. He also hosts Outlook, a talk show broadcast on Saturday nights. Kandel's wider public profile includes authorship of more than a dozen media and political books and leadership of the Nepal Media Society. His combined management, editorial, and on-air roles are a notable part of the channel's public identity. Available reference material provides limited detail about ABC Television's ownership history, financial development, transmission footprint, audience figures, major rebrands, or corporate transactions. The channel's official website indicates an ongoing digital presence alongside its television operation. On the evidence available, ABC Television is an active Nepalese news-media brand whose principal language, audience, and reporting agenda remain centered on Nepal.
