New Hope TV was founded in April 2005 by a Christian businessman and his wife who seek no name for themselves, but rather desire that all the glory should go to their Lord Jesus Christ for what He has done.

The channel began in Bangalore with English and Tamil content, and in February 2006 was launched in Mumbai with English and Hindi content. Since then, content has been added in Kannada, Malayalam, Telegu and Marati languages at various times in various places.
