The Vice President of India M Venkaiah Naidu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla jointly launched Sansad TV.
In February 2021, the decision to merge Lok Sabha TV and Rajya Sabha TV was taken.
When the Parliament is in session, Sansad TV will have two channels so that the proceedings of both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha can be aired simultaneously
Sansad TV programming will primarily be in four categories - functioning of Parliament and democratic institutions, governance and implementation of schemes/policies, history and culture of India and issues/interests/concerns of contemporary nature.
The Lok Sabha TV (LSTV) was founded in July 2006.
It was the brainchild of former Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee.
