[satty2007]

[HSD*^]

i dont mind either, the more the merrier. but having similar names will end up causing trouble.

[BABBAR KHALISTANI]

Yeah....both are named as Sikh Channels.....let's hope both serve a panthic agenda.

Yes there is a huge confusion over the the two channel names

The Sikh Channel http://www.thesikhchannel.com is a long term project and will be working hard to provide quality programming!

We do not want the dispute over the channel names to become a battle ground as our aim is to do prachaar, with clear aims and objectives
