Many congratulations to a small channel from a small network (I am not talking about Manorama and Mathrubhumi which may have 1 or 2 TV channels but they have a big publishing business for many decades). Very few new regional GECs have managed to get such a high viewership. It is not even a network of channels like Tarang (Ortel) in Odisha, but only a single channel*. Congrats again!
I remember Tata Sky was the last to add this channel, along with Media One.
The two were added on the same day in August 2015. However, a few days later, TS became the first DTH ever to add Asianet HD.
