After Zoom Tv’s alliance with Nautanki another Times Group TV Channel has been bitten by the Nautanki bug. Times Now the business news channel by the Times Group has tied up with Online Video Network nautanki.tv to stream 3 shows across Nautanki’s claimed 6000+ blog video widget network. Its no surprise as now Nautanki is part of the Hungama group which means strong connections with bollywood and media.
The three shows that have gone online are The Newshour hosted by Arnab Goswami, No Full Stops, a wellness guide and The Foodie, a food cum travel show hosted by Kunal Vijayakar. TimesNow plans to make more shows online via the Nautanki Network in the future. As per the release out of the 6000 odd blogs in the nautanki network around 20% of Nautanki.tv’s publishers are bloggers who cover serious topics ranging from news, analysis, finance etc. This attempt by Timesnow is supposedly targetted at these bloggers.
One thing to note is that Nautanki is a blind network i.e. they do not disclose where are their widgets placed so its one thing saying that 20% of the bloggers cover such news and analysis its completely another when you judge the quality of the coverage.
On the whole this is TimesNow’s way of going online with videos with little or no added cost of hosting the video and monetizing the same. For Nautanki on the other hand the strategy has been to tie up with content players from the mainline media i.e. TV and then ask them only to promote their online presence to advertisers and get ad revenue as well.
I think TimesNow should consider youtube.com as a potential platform to stream its videos and also earn revenue. ZoomTv the other times group channel has been active on Youtube and even launched contest via the same. Also other video content players like Rajshri are bullish on youtube in a big way.
I dont know how these nautanki folks boast of 6000+ blogs! I haven’t seen their widget on even half decent blogs!
PS: I dont visit spam/porn blogs!
@ Nautanki Crap
tick the following as is applicable:
1. I am an ex employee who was shown the door
2. I am one of the dozen odd people who claim to have founded the company
3. I am a sour grape who does not give credit to my own mother for giving birth to me.
Here is just one of the many places where you can see the media player they created:

The site you mentioned has an alexa rank of 13 lakh! 6000 such sites wont even total upto 1 lakh page views.. Wow nautanki a network of 6000 shitty sites that give 100000 page views! bravo!
Most decent blogs stay away from Nautanki - because their auto play vids suck big time.
I have been publishers during early days of nautanki and my account showed earning of Rs 10,000 which was never paid.
One fine day got email, they had issue with their backend system and now your earnings have been settled to Rs 200.
They are bunch of jerks - stay away unless you want to make nautanki of yourself -
@no Nautanki plzzz
I have no issues with you having a problem with autoplay. your blog your choice.
but if your payment has not come through and you are not guilty of doing one of the following then please contact me at ram [at] nautanki.tv
1. putting multiple widgets on one page.
2. continuously refresing the page trying to increase earnings.
both the above are caught as fraud by our fraud detection system and the earnings tanked.
nobody can accuse us of not having a line of communication with our publishers and quick issue resolution.
so if you re genuine contact us.
i will update here with resolution of issue.
