Sky music channels to launch on Easter weekend
LONDON: Three new music channels from the Sky stable — Flaunt, Scuzz and The Amp — will launch by 17 April 2003 coinciding with Easter weekend.
A Digitalsky report says that the stations, which began preliminary testing on Tuesday, will commence broadcast at 2pm on 17 April. Flaunt will launch on EPG 469, whilst Scuzz will occupy channel 471 and The Amp will be on 473.
Sky music channels head Lester Mordue was quoted as saying that the new music channels will offer a new vista by allowing viewers to vote with their remote control for the next video to be played. The report also says that a full programme lineup has yet to be released, although the Now and Next data indicates the presence of a jukebox element (similar to ‘The Box’) on each of the three channels.
Sky is promoting the music channels by using various ground events in pubs and hotspots all over London.

TLC launches ‘World On My Plate’ with Shipra Khanna
New travel-food series premieres 29 March at 7:00 PM.
MUMBAI: Shipra Khanna just packed her bags and her flavours because when a celebrated chef takes you on a global plate tour, even the couch starts feeling like first-class. Warner Bros. Discovery India has announced the launch of World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna, a new travel and food series set to premiere on TLC on 29 March at 7:00 PM. Hosted and curated by the popular chef and television personality, the show blends food, travel and culture through an intimate and immersive lens.
Across three visually rich episodes, Shipra journeys to global destinations to explore not just what people eat, but why they eat it, uncovering the stories, traditions and human connections behind every dish. The series opens in London, weaving its iconic landmarks with diverse culinary scenes, before moving to Spain’s vineyards, olive orchards and coastal kitchens.
Warner Bros. Discovery head of advertising revenues for South Asia Tanaz Mehta said: “At TLC, our focus has always been on bringing authentic stories that reflect how people live and connect. World On My Plate builds on this by using food as a lens to explore shared traditions across geographies. We’re excited to collaborate with Chef Shipra Khanna, whose perspective brings both depth and relatability to these narratives.”
Shipra Khanna added, “Food has always been my way of connecting with people and understanding cultures. With World On My Plate, I’ve had the opportunity to step into new worlds, learn from incredible individuals, and share stories that go far beyond the plate. This show is very special to me.”
The series promises strong visual storytelling, meaningful interactions and a fresh perspective on global cuisine celebrating flavours alongside the emotions and traditions that shape them.
In a world where travel shows often feel like distant postcards, Shipra Khanna is serving up something far more personal: a passport to cultures through their kitchens, proving that the best way to understand a place is still through the plate. Tune in to World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna starting 29 March at 7:00 PM on TLC.
