Zeel to launch &TV in UK on 6 April

[DashMajor]

&TV, which launched in India and the Middle East on 2 March, 2015, is now set for its UK launch. The new general entertainment channel (GEC) from the Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd (Zeel) stable under the ‘&’ franchise will go live in the UK on 6 April at 7 pm.

The channel will be launched on the eve of the 20th anniversary of Zee UK.

Zeel plans to expand &TV’s presence to every country where it has its footprints, subject to licence clearances.

Meanwhile, in India, &TV which, opened up with 90.6 GVMs, has only gone up in the ratings chart, in its second week, recording 105 GVMs.

The channel, with the philosophy 'Jashn Jeene Ka' (celebrating the spirit of life), stands for binding people, ideologies and philosophies and aims to mirror the thinking and values of an evolved, 'new age' India.

&TV currently airs a total of 22.5 hours of original programming throughout the week.

Basically no one pay for Hindi channels in UK, USA until its not a veteran channel. But look what are the scheme running in India, We have to pay for these Hindi GEC as well as premium rate for English GEC.

The content producers demand fee from the region broadcasters, so it is different in english channels.Even in abroad, Indian channels are paid,since & it new, no takers would be there hence free for some days.

English and indian contents are equal? The production costs in English shows are higher compared to us.

If you compare with mythological based shows then yes and might be more costlier then some of the contents available in US.
