Cable operators to stabilise stable8217; of channels soon

Discovery, which has been playing hide and seek for the past fortnight, too might stage a comeback if people shell out Rs 5 extra per household. Lucky, a young man who is a regular Discovery watcher, says he has been bored ever since the channel went off the air with its informative programmes on quot;all kinds of things 8230; crime, space, history, automobiles, nature, every field one can think of.quot; He likes National Geographic Channel too quot;although it8217;s a little too much of wildlife and nature-related programesquot;.

Say goodbye to Punjabi World. The channel wound up operations abruptly without notice, say the cable operators. But its disappearance hasn8217;t hurt many, for it has been replaced with Lashkara which, many claim, offers more varied fare.

Chandigarh being a cosmopolitian place, the channels broadcasting in Kannada, Tamil and Telugu surely have their viewers, but these Dravidian languages are quot;Greekquot; to the majority who wish they would be replaced.Rajnish Khanna of Siti Cable says that in the near future they will introduce four new channels: Sony Action, Fashion World and two more which haven8217;t been decided yet.

He also claimed that quot;very shortlyquot; Siti Cable will switch to 450 MHZ for more clarity.
