Noida, June 19, 2026 – India’s First Global Multicast News Hub – Live Times has announced the launch of its new flagship weekly show, “कविवार”, a distinctive television property that combines poetry, satire, contemporary affairs, and public discourse in an engaging and thought-provoking format.
Hosted by renowned poet, author and stage performer Anamika Jain Amber, the one-hour weekly program will air every Saturday at 7:00 PM, with repeat telecasts on Sunday at 2:00 PM and 10:00 PM.
Drawing inspiration from India’s rich literary and cultural traditions, कविवार brings together some of the country’s most celebrated poets to discuss and debate contemporary political, social and national issues through the powerful medium of poetry. The show seeks to create a meaningful dialogue where literature meets journalism, offering viewers fresh perspectives on events shaping the nation.
Through satire, wit, logic, and poetic expression, the program aims to entertain audiences while fostering greater awareness and engagement on issues of public importance.
The show has been conceptualized to serve as a platform where the views and sentiments of citizens, intellectuals, writers and poets can contribute to a broader public discourse, helping policymakers and administrators better understand the aspirations and concerns of the people.
Unique Format: The program comprises three engaging segments:
वार-पलटवार (Vaar-Palatvaar)
A spirited exchange of poetic arguments and counterarguments where poets present contrasting viewpoints on major contemporary issues, public policies and socio-political developments.
मन की बात (Mann Ki Baat)
A reflective segment where participating poets share their individual perspectives on significant national and social issues or an original thought via poetry.
रैपिड शायर (Rapid Shaayar)
A fast-paced and entertaining segment featuring spontaneous poetic expressions, wit, humour and audience interaction.
Speaking about the launch of the show, Anamika Jain Amber, Host of कविवार, said:
“Poetry has always been one of India’s most powerful mediums of expression. Through कविवार, we are creating a platform where literature meets contemporary discourse, where humour meets wisdom, and where meaningful conversations can reach every household in an engaging manner. Our endeavour is to make people think, smile and participate in the national conversation through the timeless power of poetry.”
Sharing his thoughts on the new initiative, Dilip Singh, Founder & CEO, India’s First Global Multicast News Hub – Live Times, said:
“News informs us about what is happening around us, but poets often help us understand why it matters. While journalism presents facts and context, poetry brings emotion, perspective and deeper social reflection. कविवार is an attempt to bring these two powerful traditions together.
Through the voices of some of India’s most respected poets, the show will explore contemporary issues, public policies and social developments in a manner that is insightful, engaging and thought-provoking. We believe that diverse viewpoints strengthen democratic discourse, and कविवार will serve as a unique platform where literature, satire and public interest converge.”
With कविवार, India’s First Global Multicast News Hub – Live Times continues its commitment to creating innovative content formats that inform, engage and empower audiences while strengthening meaningful public discourse. The show further reinforces the network’s mission of delivering journalism rooted in public interest, truth and constructive dialogue.
