Tehzeeb TV Emerges as the Fastest Growing Urdu-Language TV Channel in India
May 7, 2019
Business Wire India
Gaining a whooping number of 4.90 lakh followers on Facebook in a very short time, Tehzeeb TV has left Zee Salaam, with 2.60 lakh followers, far behind in the race of social media followership and popularity. As evident by the numbers, this infotainment channel is competing close to News18 Urdu that enjoys a followership of around 5.10 lakh people on this social media platform.
Elated after being felicitated by numerous awards, Tehzeeb TV has lately been awarded as the Fastest Growing Channel by the Face Group. Enjoying a huge demand among the masses, the channel has been added to Sun Direct DTH Service recently due to its increasing viewership. Now the channel is available on #624 on Airtel Digital TV, #786 on Sun Direct and #871 on GTPL and hundreds of cable MSO’s in India.
Being the first and only Urdu infotainment channel in Asia Pacific to telecast live Namaz from Mecca five times a day, Tehzeeb TV is setting up new records every day. With 7+ hours of daily fresh and original content, the channel is way ahead than many prime-time Indian entertainment channels. The channel broadcasts four live call-in programs focused upon different issues. Their popularity is narrated by the line congestion that is observed every other day.
The channel strives to telecast programs responsibly and aims to encompass all the matters of concern and interest of the common masses. Some of its popular shows are:
Upon the vision of the channel and its work for the society, many notables and dignitaries have congratulated the team. Ms. Sheila Dikshit, former Chief Minister of Delhi, believed, “the people of Delhi are lucky to witness an Urdu channel like Tehzeeb TV.” Padma Shri Prof. Akhtarul Wasey exclaimed, “Tehzeeb TV is the representative of the cultural ethos and composite culture of India.” Justice Markandey Katju hoped, “May the channel work for the betterment of the nation, highlight the right issues and serve the nation.”
Sahil Khan, Founder and CEO at Tehzeeb TV revealed, “We strive to bring international recognition to Tehzeeb TV. Our vision is to cater not only the Urdu-speaking and Muslim audiences but to take the channel to the masses. Urdu is not some separate entity, rather it is more of a culture. We are motivated to represent Indian culture as it is a mix of several languages. We believe Hindi and Urdu are not two different beings but the hands of a same person. India is what you see when you picturize diversity and we aim to epitomize the shades of India to its truest essence.”
Sadabahar Nagme fame Rizwan Khan joined the team of Tehzeeb TV after hosting this one of the most popular shows in Urdu genre for 8 consecutive years. He commented, “I am thrilled to bring together the passion for delivering the right content and great work ethic here. The ideology of the channel inspired me to join their team.”
The team at Tehzeeb TV leaves no stone unturned when it comes to providing the best of it to their viewers and the 3 hours of additional programming that the channel is coming up with for the holy month of Ramdaan is the witness to their dedication. Shows like Maah-e-Ramdaan (live), Waqt-e-Sehr (live), Iftaar (live from Mecca – Madina), Taravih (live from Mecca) and Faizal-e-Ramdaan are arriving only at Tehzeeb TV to make this month even more celebratory.
