After these 6channels shutdown, can we expect Audio feed of "Marathi, Gujarati, Assamese, Punjabi, Bangla, Odia ?

Only channels shutdown ? Or Audio feed also ?

We : You should make a kids channel.
They : Ok let's make the group of complicated channels for kids in each language

Audio feeds will work as usually.

Audio feeds will work as usually.

So, they will survive with audio feeds, best move from ETV Network.

They should continue the audio feeds , only then they will be able to garner more views in long term basis and give proper fight with other kids channels having multi audio feeds

I am from Assam. I can confirm no Assamese kid is interested in these average cartoons. They missed a golden opportunity when they had region specific channels. They could've easily made atleast make 2 region specific local cartoons. It would've given a good promotional boost to the channel to differentiate each feeds they had got.

And now how do you expect people to know that this channel supported so many languages in one channel?

Now the whole channel is a lost cause. It just cannot compete in a market with so many big global players like Disney, Nick and BBC. Unless they try to bring back some classics from Hit Entertainment like Bob the Builder, Make Way for Noddy etc. There is no hope for the channel.

Launching dedicated kids’ channels in 12 different languages, that too for a network which operates almost exclusively within the Telugu market, was always going to be a bad decision. Audio feeds are the more sensible choice. When even Star Sports has been planning to shut down its Marathi and Bengali sports channels, what chance does ETV (which already has a lot of distribution problems) stand? This is a sensible decision as nobody could watch the dedicated channels or the HD channel anyway, and the main ETV Bal Bharat SD channel is the only one that people know.

Expected, at least they'll be sensibly cater to the markets with audio feeds.
