Forwarded Message from SUN WORLD TV: 1st JAN 1999. We are happy to inform you that we are making all arrangements to launch the channel as soon as the formalities are all tied up. As they say 'The best things in life are worth waiting for'. So wait and watch out for SUNWORLDTV, The test signals are underway, We will be on air soon. A lot of you have requested that we use the platforms used by Zee and Sony as you have these connection already or plan to take these connections.

Much as we understand your problems with regards to having to purchase an extra satellite dish, which would, not only mean extra costs but also extra space. We must inform you that the DirectTV network and Dish Network are not enthusiastic about starting another Indian channel. They do not believe that the South Indian community is large enough to take up that kind of programming. They are reluctantly committing approximately 4 hours of programs for all the four languages, which is not sufficient at all. Our plan is to start as a 24-hour channel for the four languages together first and then slowly move to having 24 hour programming for each language. To do this we need to get on a platform, which is open to such expansions.

The Japanese channel comes on a platform which does not have too many channels but the Japanese people in the USA have supported the platform and proved that what is important is not the platform but the program that they want to see. We hope that the South Indians in the USA and Canada will also take the Japanese approach and look at the program and not the platform. We are in the process of striking a deal with 'Telstar' and we are also negotiating a good deal with the satellite dish agents to give us a good deal on the dish or absorb a part of the dish cost.

Right now the programs and the high frequency of repeats (of bad programs) make the novelty wear out within a week to ten days. I thonk the jury is still out and we will know only after regular broadcasts start. • From: M (@ gear107.uwaterloo.ca) on: Wed Apr 7 12:39:10 EDT 1999 Hi I've received this mail, in case any of you are interested: Master Pieces of K Balachander on SUNWORLD TV Raghu Vamsam & Chinna Tharai Starts April 1999 onwards.

Please help me Thanks G M Rao • From: (@ 1cust246.tnt20.sfo3.da.uu.net) on: Sat Apr 17 14:41:39 EDT 1999 Rao, Visit That should direct you about how to get Sun/Surya TV. • From: (@ daecfp01.sprint.com) on: Wed Jul 28 17:51:38 EDT 1999 Ordinarily I would not write this here, what with this being NOT directly connected with TFM. But Ravi (BTW where is he these days?) and bb having allowed this thread to remain in the DF, I thought it was only fair that I publish my review of the SUN TV broadcast in the U.S. From a customer's perspective, ATN's broadcast of SUN TV programs (or tapes shall I say) SUCKS! First, the broadcast didn't start as originally scheduled for Feb 15th or later announced for April 15th.

But that is history. More, about the current status. The current programs have too many repeats of the same programs and absolutely no consistency or continuity whatsoever. They have some off the shelf 'Best hits of Yesudas' type video cassettes which they pop into the VCR and broadcast as and when they feel like (at least 30 times in the past month itself, I feel).

There is no concept of Prime Time or Weekend Programs. Obviously, the boneheads have not done any research on U.S.

Based South Indian Customer expectations or more importantly, and I am afraid this is the actual reason, they don't care. As in most Indian businesses (I am sad to say this) they are only interested in sale and not in customer satisfaction. If you are hoping that you are going to see some 'top notch' regular SUN TV programs that you probably saw in India, keep hoping. How many times are they going to show the same Thillana Thillanaa? The first two months, they used to show looooong promotional clips about Sun, Udaya, Surya and Gemini TV - on the SUN TV channel itself. I already have the channel, so I don't need your stupid and long commercial.
