'The Buddhist TV' has commenced free-to-air TV transmission via UHF-53 and Radio transmission via 104.5 FM in Colombo.

Its leant that former TV2 and Radio1 owner Mr.Nahil Wijesuriya's People's Media Network has leased its license to 'The Buddhist TV'

Earlier information from The Buddhist TV said they were planing to go free-to-air with VIS but seems with VIS management crisis they had changed their mind and switch to People's Media.

It says Mr.Hema Nalin Karunaratne (of HTV) has also joined with the Buddhist TV

@ Rasika,
No any confirm date from ABC abt SHAA FM relaunch. It says they are lack of frequencies to cover a greater part of the country. And also they are not certain abt the format as well. They have some thoughts to launch it like Y FM style.

@ David,
Yes, there are some rumors abt such a tape but as you say no one to confirm it. Lots of media giants who were with the Youth and Your when it launched had left the company for various reasons mostly bad reputation among the industry and management issues.

@ CMB Int'l B'fair
Yes, as I noted in my earlier post the Buddhist has started their test transmission of TV and Radio via People's Media Network on 8th April.

There are some news say that Rangiri also start their TV channel (only to Dambulla area first) soon

Lets wait for the Best to come.

Rasika said...

As we predicted in earlier blog, it seems that the fall of many radio stations is inevitable. during the last few years, many has started radio stations thinking that the industry is so comfortable for any number of radio stations. Now we see the result. Still many are running at loss and they are not earning at all. This is not good for the industry and listeners. Becuase finally we are not getting any thing good rather than "BELEK KADA" type radio stations just running for money and profits.

MAX will be launching an English Radio station. Dont know the frequencies yet. A former big shot of Gold FM is General Manager now of MAX Radio.

104 fm is on test transmission now playing a mix of English / sinhala music. Its rumored to be SHA.

@ Rasika - U have any info on this ?

Rasika said...

Mario,
No. As far as I know, this frequency was allocated to Neth for their tamil radio station. But these days, any thing can happen. Also it looks, ABC is waiting for something and they seem to be not happy about the available or recieved frequencies for SHA FM. So they might look for frequencies of bankrupt radio stations.

Sri Lanka ABC media network to launch Hiru TV on October

Sri Lanka’ ABC media network is to launch its TV channel 'Hiru TV' in this October, the Chairman/ Managing director of Asian Broadcasting Rayynor Silva told Asian Tribune.

“We are plans to launch 'Hiru TV' within next 05 months period. It will be a 24 hour channel. At the movement, I can't tell the programme structure of the television” he said.

ABC Radio's licence was suspended by the Sri Lankan Government in late October 2007, affecting all its five radio channels.

Transmission of three networks recommenced in March 2008 under the name Hiru Media Networks. Sha FM is still off air.

Since the first Television network of Sri Lanka (Independent Television Network Limited (ITN)) was launched on the 13th of April 1979, 23 analog terrestrial television networks have come in to existence within Sri Lanka. There are also 15 Satellite networks and 04 pay per view television networks in Sri Lanka.
