Saral Jeevan, the first infotainment channel in Kannada, is all set to celebrate its first anniversary by launching new programs. Two weekday and three weekend programs will be starting from 19th-20th February.
Launched on 19th February 2016, Saral Jeevan became a household name for its unique positioning and factual, health, and mythology programming—in short, content inspired by Indian heritage and culture.
The channel has created its own niche by staying away from both news and GEC genres. Flagship programs like Mahapayana, History, Sadhu Parampara, Grandmother Tales, and more have helped the channel build a loyal viewership base. Saral Jeevan’s affinity index is high among urban viewers and upper strata of NCCS viewers.
NEW PROGRAMS:
Seethe Lokamathe (mythology series): A mega mythology series on the epic Ramayana, the whole story is told from Seethe’s perspective. The 500 episodes with state-of-the-art production and graphics will ensure viewers enjoy the epic story in full glory. Mon-Fri 7.30 pm
Belli Parade (the golden era of Kannada cinema): The program goes back to golden period of Kannada cinema (the early 70’s to late 90’s).
