[IndianMascot]

Come 30 April and Z ETC Punjabi subscribers will no longer be able to watch the channel. Reason-the broadcaster has decided to shut shop.

The direct to home (DTH) operators have already started informing their subscribers about the channel shut down in the form of a scroll running on the TV screens. The message is loud and clear: The channel will be discontinued from the platform due to the broadcaster’s decision of shutting it down.

Sources from the channel have confirmed to indiantelevision.com that Z ETC Punjabi will soon shut down and that its employees will be absorbed into Zee Entertainment’s other channels.

Z ETC Punjabi is an entertainment channel from the Zee stable that has fiction shows, comedy, travel and living, movies and music.

They may bind them under the same thread after their upcoming Punjabi channel.
Canada, US and UK alone has Punjabi speaking population of more than 2 million
(this is the fig. of only Indian Sikhs) the number is even more if we include Hindu bros and Muslims from Pak)
Infact, PTC Punjabi gets more viewership than Zee tv, Sony and colors.

So Zee is running Punjabi channel there.
Vahan 'badal'nahi saaf aasman hai.
