Three weeks later ZEEL renamed it from Ganga Biskope to Zee Biskope. The test run had started a few days before the renaming of the channel.

The channel’s launch is likely to be followed by the entry of Surya Bhojpuri which will mark the entry of a third Bhojpuri channel in recent months. It will herald a new chapter in the Bhojpuri TV market and further make the competition intense.

    • Zee Punjabi will be next in line after Zee Biskope. Zee Thirai & Zee Picchar probably in Jan-Feb given ZEEL hasn’t yet amended RIO.
