'Channel V' to get SHUT down..??
The channel is in plans to call curtains...
Mega channels shutting down comes as a major shock to the millions of viewers. The impact of that news is much bigger than the news about any particular show going off-air. When one show goes off-air there are some viewers who get saddened, but when a channel is shut, there are a number of shows having millions of fans that get saddened by the same.
In the past, many have received such shocks when mammoth channels like Star One and NDTV Imagine have set curtains. And another shock is about to hit the masses.
One of the most popular and loved youth channels, Channel V may be all set to shut its shop.
As shocking as it may sound, it may well be true.
The 22-year-old channel which has been responsible for giving us cult shows like 'Dil Dosti Dance', 'Gumrah' and 'Sadda Haq' may soon shut down.
Going down the vault, the international Channel V was recently shut in February 2016, turning it into a 24-hour music video station.
According to sources, the current running shows on the channel which includes some popular ones like 'Mastaangi', 'Sadda Haq 2', 'D4 - Get Up and Dance', 'Gumrah Season 5' among others will be going off-air. The tentative date for this is 30th June when the shows will be airing their last episodes.
And effective from July 1, the channel is in plans for a probable shutdown or a revamp into an all music channel.
The fans will surely be deeply saddened by this news.
Keep reading this space for further updates.

Star Network's Channel V, that started out as an exclusive music channel, added a series of daily soaps and reality shows to its lineup with time. Both MTV and Channel V have been able to carve an identity for themselves in the youth segment. But if recent reports are to be believed the channel will soon be shut down and its programmes will shift to Hotstar, which is Star's video-streaming service.
Come July, popular shows of the channel like Sadda Haq, Gumrah, Mastaangi, Dil Dostii Dance, D4 etc will be available only on the digital platform.
"Channel V will be revamped as a youth focussed music brand effective July 1," a Star India spokesperson confirmed to Mid-Day. The revamp will include a new identity and programming for the channel, reports the Mumbai-based tabloid.

It is to be recalled that the international Channel V was closed down and turned into a 24-hour music video station in February this year. Looks like our desi Channel V will meet with a similar fate.
It is also rumoured that MTV will also turn back to its music-only avatar soon, but a spokesperson from MTV denied the reports.
