The already populated Malayalam channel scene in television will have to make room as five more channels have announced their arrival.
The Indian Union Muslim League announced the launch of its channel named Channel IBC (Independent Broadcasting Council). Channel IBC will be a full time news channel and be initially available in the MPEG-4 format for cable television subscribers. In a second phase expansion, IBC will become a satellite channel.
Following the footsteps of Malayala Manorama, Kerala Kaumudi and Mathrubhumi are also launching news channels.
Politician and former Congress leader K Muraleedharan, has announced the launch of a new television channel named Janapriya Communications. The launch is however put on hold.
An entertainment channel from Manorama TV and a news channel in Malayalam from the Sun Network are also expected to start operations in the state soon.
Asianet, in 1993, became the first private channel broadcasting in Malayalam. Since then the industry has seen new entries and currently, there are nine TV channels broadcasting in the state.
