Aapna Channel

Soon a channel will be launched called Aapna Channel.

This is Uk’s first and only Pahari/Mirpuri language TV channel.

This channel is broadcasting in Asia since June and will be on Sky Digital in UK very soon.

you will see programmes in your own language, such as dramas, talk shows, documentaries and music.

Re: Aapna Channel

Looking forward to the launch of the channel.

There was a definite need for such a launch in the UK considering the fact that majority of the Pakistanis/Kashmiris here speaks the language or at least understands it.

Here is a link to the channel website: Aapna Channel Website

Re: Aapna Channel

Yes you are right there was a need for such a channel launch in UK.

Did you know that there is over 700000 people who speak this langauge, this is UK alone.:)

Re: Aapna Channel

aapna tv should be a success because the other pakistani channels dont represent the mirpuri/kashmir community. only dm digital and prime tv have programmes in punjabi. ary digital and geo only represent the urdu speaking community.

Re: Aapna Channel

Yes aapna channel will be a sucess.

**AAPNA CHANNEL HAS STARTED TEST TRANSMISSION ON SKY. THOSE FROM AZAD KASHMIR ESPECIALLY SHOULD TUNE INTO THE CHANNEL AS YOU WILL RECOGNISE SOME FAMALIAR PLACES. **

Re: Aapna Channel

Hello All

I have specifically joined this forum to talk about this Aapna Channel. I think it is pretty good in terms of quality and presentation. I happen to know some of the people behind it quite well and have been passing all your comments on to them, it is something us Mirpuris should be proud of and that includes all Gujarkhanis, potoharis and people from Mansehra Abbottabad region as this channel is for us. Do post your comments here once you have seen it as these people are very keen to learn what people think and very open to ideas and suggestions.
