NDTV Good Times is an Indian travel, food and lifestyle channel and NDTV’s only non-news TV channel. It was originally a joint venture between NDTV and United Breweries, owner of the Kingfisher brand of beer and the now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines. Its competitors include TLC, Fox Life, Travelxp and the erstwhile FYI TV18.
The name alludes to the tagline used by the Kingfisher brand, King of Good Times.
