MUMBAI: Star India is adding to its channel roster in the UK. Rupert Murdoch's Asian network has entered into a syndication deal with BSkyB to launch Star One and Star Gold.

Hindi entertainment channel Star One and Hindi movie platform Star Gold will debut in the UK later this month or early December on BSkyB, which is over-35 per cent owned by Murdoch's News Corp.

BSkyB presently hosts two Star channels -- Star Plus and Star News.

According to information available with Indiantelevision.com, most formalities for the launch of the two channels have been completed.

However, the programming on Star One and Star Gold may not be a photocopy of what's seen back home. Reason: copyright issues. Especially those related to the satellite rights of Hindi movies.

Meanwhile, Star One is already available in the US on the News Corp controlled stallite platform DirecTV along with, Star Plus, Star News and Star Vijay. Queried as to when Star Gold would be available to DirecTV subscribers, a Star spokesperson offered no comment.

Earlier this week, Star had announced the launch of five Indian and two international channels in Japan on a new IPTV and community platform World on Demand (WoD). On WoD, Star has launched Star Plus, Star One, Star News, Star Utsav and Vijay, along with Sky News and Fox News.
