MUMBAI: Exploring the wide market space of music channels, Creative Channel Advertising & Marketing is all set to launch free to air Hindi music channel Khushboo TV. The channel is on test run and will be officially launched on 1 August.
Speaking about the newly launched channel with Radioandmusic.com, Creative Channel Advertising & Marketing promoter Sahib Chopra said, “Manoranjan TV has been running successfully for five years, we are looking forward to grab a strong hold in music market with Khushboo TV. We are targeting the Hindi speaking market and have acquired tracks from the golden era of 60s-90s. We are not focusing much on the new songs, but new age music as well as movie trailers will make up for a smaller part of the programming on the channel.”
The channel is said to be in negotiations with several DTH players and the deals will be finalised by 1 August. The channel will telecast music from the pre-2000 era and will be available on cable and satellite connections. “We have acquired a library of about 2,000 albums and have allotted dedicated hours for new-age music. We are in talks with label but haven’t finalized yet.” Chopra added.
