Discovery Tamil, India's only 24-hour Tamil factual entertainment channel, as part of its endeavour to expand its footprint further in Tamil Nadu, will now be available on leading satellite television services provider, Sun Direct.

Discovery Tamil will be available on channel number 541 on Sun Direct. With the addition of this platform, Discovery Tamil is now present on Sun Direct, Tata Sky, Dish TV, Airtel Digital, Videocon D2H and other cable networks.

Discovery Tamil, since its launch in 2011, continues to entertain viewers with programmes from across a variety of genres

In a major initiative, the south Indian broadcasting giant Sun TV has signed a mega deal with YouTube and iTunes to monetise its vast content libraries. The group's proprietary content will be available to people across the globe on a 'pay per view' basis.

"Sun TV has a wide ranging repertoire of content, with its channels offering almost every genre of entertainment with the exception of sports and business news," Sun TV group CFO SL Narayanan told indiantelevision.com. He also added that a total of more than 25,000 hours of content would be available for viewing on both the platforms.

A new Tamil TV-channel, called Tamil Oli, has started free-to-air on Eurobird 9A (9 degree East): 11843, Vertical, SR 27500 and fec 3/4. The channel is currently testing with some programmes from Raj TV. The logo of Raj TV has been replaced by Tamil Oli TV-logo in the right top corner.
