According to a Newslaundry report, Shivshankar will anchor the prime time slot, but won’t be given the Editor-in-Chief designation.
While he was at the channel earlier, he has anchored the channel’s primetime Newshour show in Goswami’s absence.
Shivshankar has already worked as an anchor and news editor at Times Now before moving to NewsX.
Shivshankar was the Executive Editor of Headlines Today earlier. He had also worked on the Editorial page of the Times of India and in February 2009 contributed to an anthology of essays on the the 26/11 terrorist attacks on Mumbai.
