Broadcaster like Star always sidelines if overall channel gets poor ratings like Maa Gold, Asianet Plus, Suvarna Plus, Utsav Movies, Star Gold Select completely sidelined and Star Gold 2 rarely airing new movies premiere. Movies Ok/Utv aired lot of premiere movies against their own Star Gold brand. this is also indicate how much these brand channels popular in India.

Buddy, Disney-Star or any broadcaster takes into account many factors while deciding to launch or shutdown a channel or even expand / shrink content offerings. It is not a simple thing but lot of calculations / research goes into it.

I do not watch regional language channels of any broadcaster barring punjabi channels but regarding Star Gold Select i can confidently state that it is being managed quite well by Disney-Star and airs lot many mainstream as well as meaningful / critically acclaimed bollywood as well as selected dubbed movies & serves the purpose of catering to the niche as well as mass audience which likes watching such films but same find less space on their main hindi movie channels bcoz of lower ratings attracted by them.

Star Gold Select used to acquire rights of many more of such critically acclaimed or independent/ indie movies but stopped the same around 2017 or 2018 , reason being the it won't have been a financially viable decision as these kind of movies attract very less ratings thus not managing to attract advertisers. They basically undertook a smart step of cost cutting rather than simply shutting down the channel itself

Star Gold 2 does air many new bollywood films and certain films r even premiered on it like the recent case of Good Luck Jerry. Star Gold is preferred destination for premiering new movies as it is the prime flagship channel and ad rate slots cost more on it, however soon after premiere these movies r shown on Star Gold 2, Star Utsav Movies and UTV movies too

This won’t happen for sure. Killing existing UTV channels will be delayed but new ones won’t be launched.

Highly unlikely from Disney Star. Their existing Nat Geo and Nat Geo Wild channels are more than enough, even though Nat Geo has stopped showing many science and technology shows. They should instead reintroduce those shows on Nat Geo itself.

This will take more time than expected. Already we are facing several delays from them and they have delayed once again. The problem this time is not the delay, but that it was never communicated directly from them. We have to rely on @Vadirocks anna and @SarfaRaZ bhai for all news on the new Disney Star channels.

Existing channels National Geographic primarily airs adventure centric shows, since last 6 or 7 months it is even airing more of wildlife and content from investigation genre has been cut down while science shows have completely been stopped barring few exceptions.
National Geographic Channel should not air more of wildlife shows as there is a dedicated channel Nat Geo Wild for the same.

Science, Technology, Investigative, Biography, Exploration shows have performed quite well on National Geographic Channel in the past. As these have either been reduced or completely taken off air from schedule of National Geographic Channel hence i believe a new channel from National Geographic branding might be launched by Disney-Star and air content belonging to these genres


I feel Disney-Star will continue to have a dedicated channel for dubbed hollywood movies. UTV HD might continue as it is or rebranded with some other name

I don't think so bro. I think, they will follow the same schedule of Star Gold 2 on its HD version.

I don't think rebranding on 15th February, DTH customer care source can't trustable everytime. they're following Dreamdth discussion only and copying same everywhere, we should wait for official announcement from broadcaster or MIB.
