In an unprecedented move in India’s media and tech space, Republic Media Network and Samsung have unveiled what is set to be the most innovative brand collaboration in the country’s content-tech industry.
This dynamic partnership combines Republic’s extensive news coverage with Samsung’s cutting-edge Z Series and Galaxy S24 Ultra devices, bringing real-time, high-quality news to millions of viewers with lightning-fast precision, the news channel said in a press release.
The collaboration, which blends the speed of news delivery with the advanced technology of Samsung’s flagship devices, will enable Republic‘s journalists and anchors to deliver breaking news seamlessly across its 400 million-plus audience. The integration of Samsung’s state-of-the-art mobile devices into Republic’s newsroom, studios, and ground reportage aims to enhance efficiency and elevate the quality of news broadcast.
Republic’s primetime shows, as well as news segments across its four channels, will feature Samsung’s Z Series and S24 Ultra devices, which will be used for everything from breaking news coverage to summarizing key takeaways. Journalists will leverage Samsung’s pro-camera capabilities, including features like Galaxy AI, Circle to Search, Photo Assist, and Interpreter, to enhance real-time news delivery. The Galaxy S24 Ultra’s impressive camera and AI-driven tools, including Live Translate and Transcribe, will be used to capture high-quality visuals and translate content, making news accessible in multiple languages.
One of the most exciting aspects of this collaboration is the integration of Samsung’s AI features into Republic’s live segments. These tools will help journalists quickly process and breakdown large swaths of information in the fast-paced, high-pressure environment of a newsroom. AI-driven features such as Note Assist will further streamline operations, enhancing efficiency and ensuring quicker, more accurate news reporting.
The partnership will be showcased in a series of teaser promos, which will include behind-the-scenes looks at how Samsung’s technology is being integrated into Republic’s news cycle. The primetime television slot will be filmed entirely with Samsung’s Galaxy S24 Ultra, showcasing its versatility in shooting modes, lighting settings, and motion capture capabilities.
Republic’s CEO, Hersh Bhandari, expressed the significance of the collaboration, stating, “Our partnership with Samsung underscores our commitment to embracing innovation. By integrating Samsung’s advanced mobile and AI tools, we are reshaping how news is created and delivered, making it faster, more efficient, and more impactful for our viewers.”
This partnership, which will reach audiences across Republic’s English, Hindi, Bangla, and Kannada channels, is set to usher in a new era of content-tech innovation. With AI and mobile technology at the forefront, Republic and Samsung aim to redefine news broadcasting, ensuring a more engaging, efficient, and accessible news experience for millions.
