- Next Mediaworks Limited, a holding company and subsidiary of HT Media Limited, engages in multimedia activities including broadcasting, marketing of television programs, films and software; advertising agency services; online and interactive information and news provision for business and general use; internet commerce and related activities; and printing and publishing of newspapers, journals, magazines, books and other literary works. The company, originally incorporated as Mid-Day Publications Private Limited in 1981 and headquartered in Mumbai, India, previously held Next Radio Limited as a subsidiary, which operated premium FM radio stations under the Radio One brand (94.3 MHz in cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore and Pune; 95 MHz in Ahmedabad), selling airtime and providing advertising and digital media monetization services across India. In a significant recent development, Next Radio Limited ceased to be a subsidiary effective February 7, 2025, following the conversion of preference shares into equity shares, restructuring its parent-subsidiary relationship directly under HT Media Limited; the company continues to focus on its core multimedia operations amid minimal revenue generation and ongoing financial challenges, including net worth erosion and quarterly losses reported in Q2 FY2026.
