Tata Sky gets ID in its basic pack

MUMBAI: Even though many niche
channels fear that people don’t
consume them as they don’t fall into
the base pack offered by the
platform operators, the newly-
launched ID-Investigation Discovery
from Discovery Network’s stable has
now hopped onto the basic pack of
direct to home (DTH) operator Tata
Sky on channel number 135.

The channel was launched about
three months ago and currently
reaches about 30 million houses. ID
is also available on Dish TV, Airtel
Digital TV, Videocon d2h, Siti Cable,
Hathway, Den Networks, GTPL,
InDigital and Digi Cable.

The channel provides shows on crime
and investigation that are dubbed in
Hindi. Speaking on this development,
Discovery Networks APAC EVP and
GM South Asia and South East Asia
Rahul Johri said, “ID has been
recognised for its distinct appeal,
refreshing programming and unique
positioning. We are delighted to have
Tata Sky as our distribution partner
and its viewers can enjoy the best
investigative programmes in Hindi in
the comfort of their homes.”

Series that will air on ID include
Disappeared, Who the (Bleep) Did I
Marry?, I was Murdered, Evil,I, I
Married a Mobster, Blood Relatives
etc.

Since none of the shows are actual serials, this channel should not be put in GEC category. It should be added into Infotainment channel categories because its programs are similar to NGC, Discovery, etc. The programs feature separate episodes. An GEC channel should show at least a few serials.

You are right. It is not a GEC at all. It is not an entertainment channel but a purely info / factual genre channel of criminal investigative nature.

Also, the current programmes are all foreign programmes dubbed in Hindi. They should have kept the original English language feed also as a viewer option along with the Hindi audio feed.
