ZEE TV organises vaccination camp for viewers from 3 August
Mumbai: ZEE TV has always placed viewers on the highest pedestal over the past three decades and now to take one step further to ensure the safety of its viewers in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, the network channel has organised a vaccination camp for citizens across multiple states to get their Covid vaccine shots. Starting 3 August, the initiative will install camps at various locations across Maharashtra, Delhi NCR, and Uttar Pradesh.
With the campaign’s primary motto being ‘corona ko harana hai, toh vaccine lagana hai’, ZEE TV urges all its viewers to get the first or second dose of Covishield at their nearest vaccination center. All vaccinations will be provided free of cost to the registered applicants and their families at the camp, the channel said in a statement on Monday.
Talking about the initiative, ZEE TV business head, Aparna Bhosle said, “While we continue to entertain our kutumb of viewers through a variety of exciting new content offerings on the channel, it is our humble endeavour to secure their well-being and help them stay safe in these testing times. However, the only way to truly minimise the impact of this pandemic is to get ourselves vaccinated appropriately while continuing to abide by the government recommendations.”
“While the nation still strives to get all its citizens vaccinated, we would like to extend a helping hand to our loyal viewers through the ZEE TV vaccination camp. We sincerely urge each citizen across the country to get themselves vaccinated and spread the word among their friends and families,” Bhosle added.
To book their respective slots, viewers must fill in their details and register themselves on the website, www.ZEETVvaccinationcamp.in, as well as on the government-authorised Cowin app, making them eligible for a jab at the camp, the channel said.

Zee5 launches five free FAST channels on Samsung TV Plus India
New genre-led channels bring comedy, drama, horror, classics and South films to Smart TVs.
MUMBAI: Zee5 just turned Samsung Smart TVs into a free entertainment buffet because when premium content costs nothing, even the remote control starts smiling. Zee5 has launched five curated free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channels on Samsung TV Plus India, making high-quality, genre-specific entertainment available subscription-free to millions of Samsung Smart TV owners across the country.
The five channels now live are:
Zee Comedy Nation – Popular comedy shows and movies
Zee Dil Se – Compelling drama series
ZEE Horror Nights – Horror and supernatural content
ZEE Cine Classic – Timeless Indian films
ZEE South Flix – High-energy South Indian films dubbed in Hindi
All content is drawn from Zee5’s extensive library and programmed in a lean-back, always-on format ideal for large-screen viewing. This launch strengthens Zee5’s Connected TV strategy at a time when 64 per cent of its premium content watch time already comes from connected devices.
Zee5 chief business officer Siju Prabhakaran said, “At Zee5, we believe accessibility and scale will define the next phase of digital entertainment growth in India. Our presence on Samsung TV Plus strengthens our Connected TV strategy, enabling viewers to discover curated, genre-led content in a seamless, free, and premium environment.”
Samsung TV Plus India head of partnerships Kunal Mehta added, “Local partnerships are at the heart of how we grow Samsung TV Plus in India. Zee Entertainment is one of India’s most iconic media brands, and bringing their channels to our service means millions more Samsung Smart TV owners can enjoy premium local content, subscription-free.”
The channels are available directly through the pre-installed Samsung TV Plus app with no login or subscription required. This marks another milestone in Zee5’s CTV expansion and builds on its growing international presence, with Zee channels already available on Samsung TV Plus across Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
In a streaming world where paywalls often block the fun, Zee5 and Samsung have quietly opened the gates, proving that sometimes the best things in life (and on your TV) really are free especially when they come with a side of comedy, drama, horror, classics and South Indian blockbuster energy.
