Noise-Free Diwali? How Twitter Reacted to Arnab Quitting Times Now

It is likely that 1 November will be the last time Goswami’s 9pm Newshour debate will be aired on Times Now.

Times Now and ET Now’s Editor in Chief Arnab Goswami has announced that he is quitting the Times Group. The news is naturally breaking the internet as the news television star has apparently planned to start his own venture. What will the nation do without Arnab’s daily dose is the question tonight? Well, for all you know he’ll be continuing with his television career. Here are some instant reactions.

My mother is going to be upset about Arnab leaving. Times Now was the only channel she could watch without her hearing aid.

2 minutes of shouting as a mark of respect for #ArnabGoswami

While many trolled the news, some gave Arnab the credit of dramatically changing the discourse of news and wished him well for future.

Say what we may ..but arnab turned around news industry in many ways .. in that sense the man has to be given credit

🏃Sometimes an individual's brand equals, even outgrows, the organisation's. Has happened in movies, cricket. Has even happened in tv news b4
