PTC Punjabi UK launches on Monday 04/02/2013 (FREE on Sky UK)

[SikhWorldTv]

PTC Punjabi finally makes it launch in the UK on Monday (4th February), BizAsia can exclusively confirm.

The channel has secretly been planning its much awaited launch over the past few months. At this stage, we can reveal that PTC Punjabi UK will replace Music India on Sky channel 822. This will result in Music India exiting the UK market after a successful five years on-air.

PTC Punjabi had already tested the response of its programmes on Music India with Gurbani from Harmandir Sahib (Amritsar) being a core part of its schedule, plus PTC News bulletins and current affairs chat shows. From Monday 4th February, the other day parts currently occupied by Music India will be replaced with PTC Punjabi.

PTC Punjabi will be the UK’s only free Punjabi entertainment channel – challenging the long running ZEE Punjabi, which is a premium property from the ZEE Network. No doubt, the religious elements on PTC Punjabi UK will compete with Sikh Channel and Sangat TV and the much popular music content will rival Brit Asia TV.

Full programming details will be announced shortly.

PTC Punjabi UK will be distributed by World Media Connect, which handled Music India operations in the UK and also looks after 9XM UK.

The much awaited launch of PTC Punjabi in the UK has been put back for a “few days” due to a technical glitch with its playout in India.

The channel was expected to replace Music India today on the Sky Digital platform. While testing has been going-on behind the scenes, it has not been able to meet the criteria technically to broadcast the channel. However, PTC Punjabi has informed BizAsia to assure viewers that the channel will be launching “within days”.

PTC Punjabi will be the UK’s only free-to-air Punjabi entertainment channel. It launches soon on Sky channel 822.

More on this soon.
