'''ABN Andhra Jyothi''' is a [[Telugu language|Telugu]] news channel, launched on 15 October 2009 by the Telugu daily ''[[Andhra Jyothi]]''. ABN stands for Aamoda Broadcasting Network.<br />
<br />
This channel was launched by [[Vemuri Radhakrishna]] after the success of the ''Andhra Jyothi'' newspaper.<br />
<br />
==Notable work==<br />
The major achievement of this channel is having exposed the [[Governor of Andhra Pradesh]] [[ND Tiwari]] sex scandal, leading to his resignation.<ref name=dna-govsex>{{cite news|publisher=[[DNA (newspaper)|DNA India]]|author=K.V.

==Controversies==<br />
S. Janardhan, an advocate from Hyderabad, filed a petition in Ranga Reddy court seeking action against the misuse of funds by V. Radha Krishna, which were collected for the maintenance of Warangal-based conjoined twins Veena and Vani.<ref name="auto">{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThKS_R9FX78|title=ABN Radha Krishna Cheating Twins Veena and Vani|last=Sravani Telugu|date=5 April 2018|access-date=5 August 2018|via=[[YouTube]]}}</ref><ref name="thequint.com">{{cite web|url=https://www.thequint.com/news/india/conjoined-twins-broken-promises-veena-and-vanis-painful-story|title=Conjoined Twins, Broken Promises: Veena and Vani’s Painful Story|website=Thequint.com|access-date=5 August 2018}}</ref><ref name="deccanchronicle.com">{{cite web|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/151104/nation-current-affairs/article/andhra-jyothyi-md-faces-inquiry|title=Andhra Jyothyi MD faces inquiry|date=4 November 2015|website=Deccanchronicle.com|access-date=5 August 2018}}</ref><br />
<br />
The petitioner said that Jyothyi had been collecting funds from citizens which they promised will be used for their maintenance. While the Telangana government came forward for their surgery, Andhra Jyothyi took up their maintenance.{{clarify|date=June 2020|reason=Wording is unclear.}} By June 2015, nearly Rs 25 lakh had been collected for the twins.<ref name="auto"/><ref name="thequint.com"/><ref name="deccanchronicle.com"/><br />
<br />
"But not even a single rupee was spent on the children and the money was diverted for the personal use of Radhakrishna," said Janardhan in his complaint. The court directed the Saroornagar police to register a case under Section 406, 420, 403 and 120(b) and submit a detailed report on the incident by 16 November.<ref name="auto"/><ref name="thequint.com"/><ref name="deccanchronicle.com"/><br />
