Arnab Goswami announced his new venture 'Republic'

Former Times Now Chief Arnab Goswami announced his new venture 'Republic' that will be launched in the first quarter of 2017. The news comes after a month of his resignation at the TV channel.

Goswami told The News Minute, "My venture is called 'Republic'; I seek the support of the people of India.” However, he did not divulge more details.
