TWO SUN's in TN

There will be two SUN’s in TN skies. Yes in Tamil Satellite Channel’s. Kalaignar Tv which is to be launched on SEP15th will have SUN as its logo. It is been announced that it will DMK’s official channel. Thus, it carries the parties’ symbol rising sun. The channel is started in rival of SUN TV, result of the MK and MARAN’s clash.

News has started leaking that KALAIGNAR TV has almost purchased the new tamil movies which has released till now in this year, including the MEGA SIVAJI and yet to be released DASAVATHARAM. Serials casting famous heroines like Kushboo, first on TV channels ever with Maestro Ilayaraja’s music, lots more attractive stuffs are in the making for Kalaignar TV. All This must have surely shaken SUNTV a bit.

Here is my first try in cartoon related to this issue. Just used paint brush to do it. Don’t expect perfection eh..

After kalaignar TV, there is still more on pipeline for Tamil viewers like MEGA TV, VASANTH TV and JAYA PLUS. Which is expected to be launched one after the another by END of this FISCAL. Which will take the total Tamil Satellite channel list to 20. So its Galla time to TAMIL TV VIEWER’S.

Missing SAB TV!

The Grand Cricket festival has started and it’s only a half treat for Chennai Cricket fans. Already, due to CAS (Conditional access System), 75% of Chennai urban people miss the action, by not watching through main broadcasters SONY MAX. It can be only watched through SET TOP BOX.
Now that SAB TV which is also a subsidy of SONY INDIA, some Matches which are played in same day is been telecasted in this channel, and is now been missing from Cable frequencies in Chennai since few days. SAB TV is actually a FTA (Free to Air) Channel, which was coming in normal cable connection, now it is missing.
I was shocked to find that SAB is also missing from my SET TOP BOX channel list. The reason is ‘?’.
I heard SAB will also be used to telecast matches with regional language commentaries from Super 8 rounds.
I tried to call SCV (main cable connection provider in Chennai and also a subsidy of SUN TV), the phone bell was just ringing!

Update News: After my post, Yesterday during India Match, SAB tv was back on the normal cable. But still unavailable on SET TOP BOX. Where in STB also SAB tv used to come.

FM (Fast growing Media)

Chennai's FM is increasing with more stations Day by Day.
Indiatimes's- RADIO MIRCHI
SUNTV's- Suryan FM
Star's- Radio City
Daily thanthi's- Hello FM
Reliance's Big FM
So the Number has increased to 5 among the private stations, excluding the two government FM stations
FM Rainbow and
FM Gold
FM after the commencement of RADIO MIRCHI and SURYAN FM on 2003 had changed the Tamil radio listeners to a different experience.
So the AIR WAR has Started!

Newly launched BIG FM giving a very good mixture of Old and New movie songs, which tries to make its Listeners, stick the same frequency. Actually Reliance has a plans to make its FM station accessible all over the tamilnadu with same frequency!
Apart from this, two months old RADIO CITY giving a good competition to RADIO MIRCHI, on attracting the Youth Ears.
Suryan FM among these cannot be categorized. Because, whenever I tune up to Suryan FM, I can only listen the conversation between the RJ's and Callers. Even the RJ's in Suryan seems to be unfriendly! And they won't forget to utter this slogan to Each caller saying, 'Unga Radio volume reduce pannunga!' If they fail to reduce the volume, the caller is forcedly been disconnected. Suryan has its broadcast also in Coimbatore and tirunelveli, there too the same agenda follows.
Radio mirchi had a massive opening, but later, coz of too many commercials, it too lost some of its listeners. Radio city and Radio mirchi both using the same kind of flavour. Their main target is Youth. Suchitra, ajay, balaji in radio mirchi and Nandu in Radio city are the Notable Rj's. They actually give a differen experience to the listeners. Both channels play western music during saturdays, which actually compensates those who miss Disco theques on that weekend!
RADIO ONE, RED FM also gonna HIT Chennai frequency very soon! Its a Grand treat for Radio listeners!
Other than this WORLD SPACE SATELLITE RADIO plays its own part with its listeners all over the globe!

And the government FM's--->No Comments!
