Closing down channels always have schedule. I saw extended schedule of HBO even after it's shutdown. Also there is possibility of these channels not shutting down as NTO 2.0 is delayed until April 1st.
I would rather have Star Gold Comedy than Star Gold Romance. Indians love to watch more comedy movies than romantic movies. It's kind of shameful that we got so many niche, action movie channels. But not one single comedy movie channels. Just see the interaction on YouTube page on channels like Shemaroo Comedy. Even OTT platforms provide random comedy bits and episodes.
