Zoom to launch by Oct-Nov 2004

NEW DELHI: The first channel from the Times Group, an entertainment channel, is scheduled for a launch in either October or November this year.

This is likely to be followed by a spiritual channel. This was confirmed by Bennett, Coleman and Co Ltd MD Vineet Jain, after a meeting with newly inducted information and broadcasting minister Jaipal Reddy, some time back.

Jain also said that the proposed business channel from the Times stable, would launch only next year.

Without specifying the format of Zoom, the channel to be launched in the next quarter, Jain merely said that it would be a ‘general entertainment’ channel.
