CEO Peeyush Sapru says, “We have at least 16 episodes of most of our shows in the cans before the channel goes on air.”



He is particularly proud of the 3D daily soap,

Love, Masti, Magic

. “It’s one of our channel’s USPs because no other channel has a show like this.”



Reportedly, the channel was denied an up-linking license by the Information & Broadcasting Ministry, pushing the launch ahead by a few months. It’s learnt that it only sailed through because ex-Samajwadi leader Amar Singh and INLD’s leader Om Prakash Chautala have invested in it.



“I can prove that these rumours are false,” insists Sapru. “We don’t need any politician’s money to run our station. It’s true that we don’t have an up-linking license, but we’ve tied up with another company as content providers, which takes care of everything.”
