Cyrus Broacha, who first pioneered spoof in the news genre with his show The Week That Wasn't, which was on CNN-IBN, has recently launched Newscaustic – Let’s Roast with Cyrus Broacha on TV9 Network’s English news channel, News9.

Premiered last Friday, the show promises a heady mix of sharp news commentary and the irreverent humour that has long made Broacha a household name.

Covering everything from the week’s biggest headlines to quirky moments in geopolitics, entertainment, and lifestyle, Newscaustic aims to deliver laughs with insight.

The buzz around the show began at the News9 Global Summit in Dubai on 19 June 2025, where Broacha hosted a panel and TV9 officially announced the launch.

Adding to the momentum, the launch season will also feature the first on-ground edition of Newscaustic in Mumbai.
