Firangi TV is a channel from the Sahara
One Media, one of India's media giants based in Mumbai, Maharashtra. The
channel would air global soap operas dubbed in Hindi. FIRANGI due to be
launched on February 25, 2008, would air bold and contemporary TV shows from
Europe, North America, South America and Asia, dubbed in Hindi. The target
audience for channel is aimed at 20-40 year olds residing in northern and
western India. It would be a departure from the commonly shown soap operas with
similar storylines but would instead show sitcoms, short stories, adventure
series and even movies. Most of the serials would be of one hour duration
unlike Indian serials which are normally of 30 minutes playing time.
The
shows that will be aired would last for maximum 6–8 months and would not be
more than 2 years old, even some of them would be running currently in their
respective countries.
Firangi
now only airs advertisments and The Worlds Greatest Magicians and it is
constantly interrupted and it is critised as Sahara does not take care of the
network which was popular and people want it back. It could re launch Firangi
with the same concept as on its website it saya Firangi - Coming Soon with
curtains and flowers......More
