Indiantelevision.com's Regional Media

Star's Marathi GEC to be called Star Pravah

MUMBAI: Star's Marathi general entertainment channel (GEC) will be called Star Pravah. The channel is expected to launch in mid-November with 20 hours of original weekly programming. Star Pravah will bank on its driver show, Raja Shivchhatrapati, based on the life and times of the great Maratha warrior Shivaji. Produced by Nitin Chandrakant Desai's Chandrakant Productions, the hour-long show will be aired three times a week. A mega set has been built at Big ND Studio in Karjat.

"We will break the common notion of viewers that regional channels are built with low budgets and quality. We are not worried with the clutter of Marathi general entertainment channels and are here to redefine the category," said Star India CEO Uday Shankar while unveiling the name and logo of the channel. Also present on the occasion were Maharashtra chief minister Vilasrao Deshmukh, Shiv Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray, Bollywood director Ashutosh Gowariker, and the star cast of Raja Shivchhatrapati. The content of the channel, which is yet to be revealed, will include daily soaps, non fiction shows, talk shows and movie-based content. "We will provide differentiated content. Being contemporary is not enough. The programming needs to be culturally rooted," said Star India EVP regional channels JC Giri.

Star Pravah will be a pay channel. "We are in talks with multi-system operators (MSOs) and DTH service providers for carriage," said Giri. Soon after New Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch announced in India the intention to invest $100 million in six regional channels, Star launched Bengali GEC Star Jolsha on 8 September. Plans are also on to launch a Gujarati GEC soon.

????? ???! ????? ????????? ??? ?????? ????? ! ??? ??? ??? ?? 8:30 ??? timing ????????
I will watch Asambhav only. Will catch this Star Pravaah serial during repeat telecast if it suits my timetable. anywayz I hv read a lot abt Shivaji and I know his entire life story. So there is no curiosity abt 'what happens next' like it is there for Asambhav.

But otherwise Star Pravaah seems to be a good channel. Good for marathi people, options are increasing.

Our cable guy shows all marathi channels except IBN Lokmat. I wont keep it on my tv even if it is available coz it seems (Everyone says) IBN Lokmat is very anti-marathi.

I too will continue to watch Asambhav but I shall also watch Shivaji at another time (If I can)

IBN Lokmat solid dokyaat jaato. Especially Nikhil Wagle. To ekdum anti-marathi aahe. According to him, marathi ppl r always wrong abt everything n non-marathis r always right. to mahamoorkh aahe.
