Breaking 9 New Channels Launching By Star Network w.e.f. March 15

[Alvin]

As of now i think they won't be launching any new channel is because they are acquiring satellite rights/libraries of hindi dubbed version of many hollywood and many Hollywood production houses as well other International studios, so there is premiere every week on UTV Action, I think they have a target, and with that they will build Hollywood Audience base too (by somewhat halting work for building bollywood audience base), I think untill and unless they complete their target of Acquiring that many studios and hindi dubbed version, they won't launch any channels as of now and NTO 2.0 implementation lacking also being the reason added.
Just my opinion

IMO UTV HD needs to be rebranded as Disney Movies HD and be made part of Disney's HD bouquet along with Disney International HD. Air kids movies in all languages including English. Otherwise you can always rebrand it to Star Sports 1 Bhojpuri HD.

Star Gold 2 HD is being launched to compete with &pictures.

Positioning of Star's hindi movie channels with Zee's hindi movie channels is as follows:

SG	Zee Cinema
SG 2	&pictures
SG Select	&xplor
UTV Movies / SG Romance	Zee Bollywood
SG Thrills	Zee Action
Star Utsav Movies	Zee Anmol Cinema
----------	Zee Classic

As you can see, SG Romance is competing with Zee Bollywood. I think it should be named SG Bollywood.

Also Star is lacking a channel to compete with Zee Classic.

No comparison between Disney-Star and Zee as far as range/quality of content offered on their hindi movie channels. Disney-Star offers so much good content be it bollywood or dubbed hollywood movies. Also UTV Action , UTV HD airs wide variety of extremely good dubbed hollywood movies while Zee Action airs mostly low budget bollywood movies alongwith few popular ones which r again repeated very often across zee network hindi movie channels

A new retro bollywood movie channel might soon launch from Disney-Star or maybe Star Utsav Movies will be rebranded/revamped as a classic bollywood movie channel while UTV Movies might be launched on DD Free Dish and air bollywood movies from 80s until now alongwith some dubbed hollywood movies

Are we both watching same channel? UTV HD airs mostly low budget hollywood movies. Only handful of high budget movies makes it than also those were release 10-20 years back. UTV Action and Star Gold 2 does a better job here. They get latest Marvel movies too.

They need have Star Utsav on DD FreeDish first. Than only they can think about secondary movie channel on DD FreeDish.

Yes, people watch both UTV Action and UTV HD....one is a SD channel and another is HD so movie viewing experience is definitely better on HD feed but SD channel has more viewership bcoz most people still subscribe to SD channels

UTV HD airs many big budget / popular dubbed hollywood movies too and improving on this with each passing day. Also many new movies do get aired on it alongwith old ones so ur claim that it airs just 10 or 20 year old movies is incorrect.


Star Utsav may not come onboard DD Free Dish as broadcasters are not willing to bring their Hindi GEC channels on this platform but as far as hindi movie channels are concerned they r ready to make it available on DD Free Dish DTH Platform hence the changes i mentioned may/can happen

I think star gold 2 hd launching tomorrow as samrat prithviraj premiere is there on star gold 2. Most importantly this is the first movie premiere on star gold 2 which is at 8pm as earlier all the movies priemered at 7pm. So there could be a chance.

Weekend Movies have been airing sometimes at 8 PM since a long time on Star Gold 2. Also Samraat Prithviraj movie was premiered on Star Gold, this is 1st time it is airing on Star Gold 2...this is also a regular thing as after premiering movie on Star Gold it shortly gets aired on their other channels.

Star Gold 2 HD will launch alongwith other channels and when new disney-star bouquets gets implemented across various cable and DTH Platforms

No buddy. Sometimes movies do air at 8 PM. Mostly sunday movies get aired at 8 PM on Star Gold 2 , on weekends 7 or 8 PM slot is decided based on scheduling strategy decided by disney-star team
