    As the year drew to a close, CEO G Krishnan bagged the Media Person of the Year Award for the year 2001 at the Media meet Award ceremony. Media Meet, the association of advertisers and media professionals, conferred the award upon him during its 7th Awards ceremony, held at Mumbai on 28 December.

    Aaj Tak completed a year of operations on 31 December and claims to be the leading news channel with a channel-share of 53 per cent and a connectivity of more than 24 million households.
