Commenting on this, Anil Uniyal, chief executive officer, CNBC-TV18 and CNBC AWAAZ said, “Our core viewers are business decision makers on the move and our channel philosophy has always been to deliver 24/7 accessibility to them across touch points. This is the reason why CNBC Channels have emerged as one of the leaders in ‘Out of Home’ TV viewing in the last decade.  From that stand-point, the Car TV delivery of our services is an integral addition to our platforms portfolio, considering the amount of local business travelling that occurs.”
