Dishum Broadcasting has announced the launch of its upcoming Bhojpuri GEC, Dishum, in Patna. The channel will be operational from August 15. Bhojpuri actors Ravi Kishan, Pawan Singh, Madhu Sharma and Shivika Dewan were present at the launch event. The channel unveiled its first look along with the International Bhojpuri Film Awards (IBFA).
The Bhojpuri regional market already has players like Dangal, Big Magic, Anjan TV and Mahuaa.
Vishal Gurnani, Director, Dishum Broadcasting, said, “Compared to all other regional languages Pan India, we believe the Bhojpuri industry is a largely underserved market and our research shows that there is a clear need gap for great content to be delivered to this large audience base. Dishum is here to transform Bhojpuri Entertainment forever by bringing world-class content, high production values and compelling stories and is endorsed by the biggest Bhojpuri stars.”
The channel will target family audience from all age-groups with the content mix of fiction and non-fiction shows across genres such as mythology, horror, drama, kids’ shows and others. The channel will also showcase Bhojpuri movies. The channel has acquired exclusive telecast rights for the Yashi Films property IBFA, which will take place in London on July 30, 2017.
Abhay Sinha, owner Yashi Films, said, “I am glad and honoured to know that a channel like Dishum is launching and will cater to Bihar/ Jharkhand, UP/ Uttarakhand audience. Also, I am truly delighted to be associated with Dishum Broadcasting team for IBFA, 2017.”
Actor Kishan said, “Dishum channel will be the first Bhojpuri channel which will cater to its audience by showcasing some top class programmes, movies and reality shows. Also, this is the third year of the International Bhojpuri Film Awards presented by Dishum, happening in London on July 30. This year’s show will have some great performances by Manoj Tiwari, Amarapali Dubey, Nirhuaa and Pakhi Hegde.”
