Where this news comes from
Between a company's quarterly results, its management does not go quiet. They talk. A CEO on CNBC-TV18 at nine in the morning about a new plant. An MD on ET Now explaining a margin dip. A founder on Moneycontrol laying out a three-year plan.
These interviews are the most candid thing management says all quarter. No lawyer wrote them. The anchor asks the question an analyst would not, and the answer is on record.
They are also the easiest thing to miss. Fourteen business channels, dozens of interviews a day, most under fifteen minutes, gone from the schedule by lunch.
The problem with catching them
You cannot watch fourteen channels. You cannot search YouTube for "interview with the MD of a company I own", because the video is titled something like "Growth Story Continues | Business News", and the company you care about is the third of four guests.
So most investors find out about an interview a week later, when someone quotes it on social media. By then the price has already moved on the words.
Interview Scans watches the channels for you. Every video from the tracked channels is checked, and when an executive of a listed company actually speaks, it becomes a row in the feed, tagged with that company, usually within the hour.
Reading the feed
Open Scans in the top menu and choose Interview Scans. The feed is newest first, and it grows through the day.
Each row shows the thumbnail with the video's length, the company whose executive spoke, the video's title, the channel, and how long ago it aired. When more than one company's management appears in the same video, the first is named and a small count marks the rest.
Click the company name and its company page opens. Click anywhere else and the video does.
The part that saves you fifteen minutes
Click a row. The video plays on the left. On the right is a panel called Takeaways: three to five bullets per company, each opening with a bold topic label, written from what the executive said in that interview.
Read the bullets first. If something matters, press play and hear it in their own words.
Two things about how these are made are worth knowing. A company only gets an entry when its own executive speaks. An anchor discussing a stock, or an analyst recommending it, does not count. And the takeaways are written per company, so a video with four guests gives you four separate sets, not a blend.
Narrowing the feed
Search company finds one company's interviews, however the video was titled. It is the fastest way to answer "has the MD said anything on air lately".
The four filters above the feed narrow it another way. Watchlist keeps only companies you follow. Industry and Index keep only a sector or an index's members. Channel keeps only one channel.
Some videos cannot be played outside YouTube because the broadcaster disallows it. Those rows carry a small marker, and the modal offers a link to watch on YouTube instead.
What is free
The whole feed. Every interview, newest first, with company search and unlimited scrolling. No account needed.
Takeaways with a free account.
Premium unlocks the four filters, Watchlist, Industry, Index and Channel, so the feed becomes only your companies, or only your sector.
Two habits worth forming
The morning check. The channels do their management interviews between nine and noon. Open the feed after lunch, filtered to your watchlist. Anything your companies said on air today is there, with the takeaways already written.
Before you buy. Search the company. Read the takeaways from its last three interviews. A management team that says the same thing on air that it says in filings is one thing. One that promises more on TV than it reports is another, and you will see it here first.
The interviews were always public. Now they are findable.
