Kolkata TV is a 24-hour Bengali news channel launched by SST Media in 2006. Ex ABP man Suman Chattopadhyay is responsible for its birth. It is the only neutral bengali TV channel. Now It is owned by Kaustuv Ray, chairman of RP Group. The slogan used by the channel is Raatdin Saatdin (which means "Day-night 7-days").[1]

The news channel is run by Calcutta-based RP Techvision (I) Pvt Ltd and known for its critical stance on Modi government. Kaustuv Ray, the editor of Kolkata TV, had been the subject of raids by the Enforcement Directorate in 2018. He also received a notice from the ED in September 2021.[2] After this the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting send a notice to the channel authorities, asking for a reply on why its license should not be cancelled. The letter, dated 27 September, cited the Ministry of Home Affairs’ denial of ‘security clearance’ to the channel as the ground for cancelling their license. Responding to the notice, Kaustuv Ray said the Central government was trying to silence the media critical of the prime minister. "This is a blatant way to gag the voice of free press. We will continue to raise our voice, we will protest against this fascist undemocratic regime of Mr Modi," said Ray.[3][4][5][6] This move of the Union Government was criticised by leaders of AITC, Congress, CPI(M), Shiv Sena and eminent persons of Bengal society.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]
