Zee themselves don't claim to be a Punjabi channel.
It's Zee Punjab Haryana Himachal. So does News 18. The competition for Punjabi channel is mainly between PTC Punjabi & India News Punjabi which are Punjab only channels.

It's Zee Punjab Haryana Himachal. So does News 18. The competition for Punjabi channel is mainly between PTC Punjabi & India News Punjabi which are Punjab only channels.
Then Zee should launch a separate channel only for Punjab, & make this existing channel as Zee Haryana/Himachal.
Why combine for Himachal & UK?
Both are the different states.
Oh so is UP/Uttarakhand, Bihar /Jharkhand, Madhyapradesh/Chhatisgarh, Haryana/Himachal, Assam/North East one state?
It's not about being different or one state but about similar language and size of state and its TV watching population.
But Haryana & Himachal should get a single channel, coz both states have similar language i.e. hindi.
Punjab should have a single channel basis on punjabi language.
Haryana speaks Haryanvi
Himachal speaks Hindi & it's pahadi Dialects
Uttarakhand speaks Hindi & its pahadi Dialects
I am never heard about haryanvi language.
I guess it's too much similar with punjabi language.
