GEC seems to be the its new Discovery. It's been just three months into the launch of DSport, a new sports channel from the network, and Discovery Communication plans to roll out an entertainment channel in India -- Discovery Jeet. The channel, which (already) means triumph in Hindi, is slated for opening in Q4.

This is not the first time Discovery Communication India has entered into Hindi entertainment space. ID (Investigation Discovery) offered compelling true stories of investigation, crime and suspense promising intriguing twist and turns that culminate into thrilling conclusions. The network has rebranded its existing channel ID as Discovery Jeet. “We are transforming ID into Discovery Jeet. We are keeping the same channel feed and just creating a new proposition, informed Bajaj.

The channel will be launched in SD feed followed by HD feed going forward. The network will be available across DTH and cable platforms.

Discovery Jeet will hit screens later this year with a vibrant programming lineup that will include, Swami Baba Ramdev: The Untold Story, a scripted biopic series tracing Swami Baba Ramdev’s fascinating and inspirational journey from a life of anonymity to national icon, international cult figure and now business mogul; Saragarhi - India’s Bravest Day, a large-scale, action-packed, scripted drama series about one of the greatest, yet largely uncelebrated, last stands in Indian military history; Gabru: The Birth of Hip Hop, a scripted series on the Rap & Hip Hop revolution that has taken India by storm, from the far ends of Punjab to the slums of Mumbai; Gangs of Mumbai, a scripted series on the colourful, larger-than-life characters from the thriving underworld of India’s maximum city.

“The overall thought is purpose driven entertainment blurring the lines between facts and fiction. So if I look at the launch shows we have Baba Ramdev- untold story , tracing his journey from childhood till today. Its mounted as a GEC show. It will be a 65 episodes show, monday to friday daily half an hour show. The prime time will be 7- 11pm and it will have two hours of original programming. We have Gangs of Mumbai, 1971- the birth of the nation, Gabru - the birth of hip hop in India. We are not just doing biopic but we are creating stories which are larger than life and entertaining.

Dsport has not been penetrated into the market yet; it must be first made available on all platforms. Good news though.
