A NEW channel dedicated exclusively at the British Asian audience is to launch next month.
Brit Asia TV is a new entertainment channel aimed at providing predominantly UK based programming and will feature daily shows, music, latest entertainment news, entertaining chat shows, drama serials and reality TV.
The channel will broadcast on SKY and will be free to air to the Asian community across the UK.
This "unique" television channel is determined to put its UK British Asian audience first by giving them the television content that they want to see with original and exclusive shows as all material on will be relevant and focused on Asian lives in Britain.
Shows already receiving massive public interest include 'Desi’s have talent' - the biggest Asian talent show that the UK has ever seen, 'Star talk' -A List celebrity interviews and 'Shabnam goes nuts' will see former Big Brother housemate host a lively and entertaining reality TV show.
Said director of Brit Asia TV, Jaz Bal: "This is a unique and highly entertaining television channel that will plug the gap for quality programming by British Asians for British Asians. The response even before our launch has been overwhelming.
"The Asian community represent an important fabric of British society. Brit Asia TV will aim to broadcast and promote Asian culture amongst British Asians both in the UK and across Europe."
This free-to-view channel will officially launch 7 April on channel 836 to Sky viewers across the country.
