Discussion Malayalam TV channels General Discussion, News, Updates

[Raju lal]

Today I have got an information that Viacom18 is planning to launch Colors Malayalam within this year, expected on August or September.

N.B. This is not official news, so expected no controversy regarding this news. I have posted only what I have heard today. Everything will be cleared very soon.

They took more than 1 year to launch Colors Tamil, Zee took about same time for Zee Keralam after announcement. So if they had any plans for/if this news is true but they don't go for a quick launch I think.

Flowers HD is one good option. Really missing HD music channel in malayalam.

Amrita HD was announced but never launched.

They planned it before going for a revamp but the channel didn't got expected ratings after that. They spend a lot of money and didn't helped . So now its doubtful about Amrita HD.

Trial may run as language feed or on Asianet movies then.

Trial may run as language feed or on Asianet movies then.

They put final matches on Asianet movies last time. As IPL comes one month earlier they may shift the launch of SS1 Malayalam.

Telugu and Kannada had trial audio feed during Windies tour, so I think similar trial will happen.
Anyway, I am not convinced about SS Malayalam success.
