Hi. it costs alot in the hundred and thousands and for sikh channel i think a million. It cost 40 grand (40 thousand) to broadcast the channel. they pay sky 40 thousand. and that for broadcasting then it cost 100 thousand to make the material then the saleries of the camera crew and they hae two studios and that cost alot of money. Thats why they depend on the sangat for direct debits and that.

Hope this helped

Sikh Channel employ people to do the sound egineering and that and that cost prob 40000 then the camera crew salaries added together 40000 pay another 40 grand and then all the rights copyrights and the cost of running two stations isn't cheap and fianlly all the bills and getting rights to broadcast the content costs alot of money. I got this imfo when the direct debit scandel happend and sikh channel was wrongly accused of taking the money and using it for other reasons. They showd the papers of all bank statements and skys letters. Running a channel isn't cheap.

Sorry if the imfo wrong. Bhul Chuck Maaf

before we were crying out loud that we need tv channels as this will be a divine intervention...to the contrary i am afraid now we got all these media outlets sttm, iphone apps, you tube, internet, 3 tv channels, live divans etc etc...but these are all kaljugs agents and we have a ego of being sikh but there is no substance..that substance will be acquired when we all become engaged in our gurdwaras and in satsangat together,....every evening/mormimg you go to the gurdwara there is no body there.....when there is the 6th Mahhan Annual Universal Akhand kirtan samagam with a special appearance by gurpreet singh shimla then everyone turns up...someone is about to sit down some one is about to get up, someone is in the langar talking and some are in the foyer. this is our sad state and the most pain i experience is when i see Guru De Sikh behaving like this. just look at the kind of posts you see in this forum..o'h im in love plz help, oh i cant control my mind plz help, o'h i cant do nitnem please help etc etc etc.....if you want to measure the chardi kala of our nation then just enter sikhsangat .com and read whether someone is asking asbout advice on doing 25 Jap, someone is about doing a chalisa, someone is asking about doing sukhasan etc etc.....but do you ever see this.

actually this was a sort of trick question.

I know how much they cost as i work for one of the channels. but let me tell you this NO-ONE gets payed, if they ever mention staff wages..its all BS.

i have met people from the "rival" channels and the too are not getting payed after being promised a full paid job. We all work hard for nothing....money comes in

but no-one know where it goes, yet the "bosses" drive big posh cars...i'm on the verge of depression because i'm so broke..but what can i do theres no jobs out there.

The Sikh Channels are doing an amazing Sewa, have definately taken SIkhi Parchar to alot more homes, the Sikh Youth Show is amazing, along with finally giving the Sikhs a voice.

Sikhguy - I dont think you are even a a Sikh guy at all, your just trying to stir trouble.

I agree they do, do alot of seva, but seva doesn't put food on my families table or clothes on their back right? I just don't like being lied to.

i'm not trying to stir trouble, i'm just saying your money doesn't go where its supposed to.

And I am a sikh why do you say i am not? That's a bit childish don't you think:?

I used to work for Sikh Channel, and the employed staff got paid. However the average wage was 12k.

The big trick they use however, is to take on Interns from eastern europe and NOT pay them. Im not sure about the legalities of this.

Also Sikh Channel rarely has a budget for programming and are able to save money this way. This is why the quality is often below standard.

Sorry but this is the truth
