Pressroom:

 

Tata Sky launches Programming Guide in Hindi


Mumbai, 4 August 2008: Tata Sky Limited, the JV between the TATA Group and STAR, today announced the launch of the Programming Guide in Hindi.  Tata Sky has been the first DTH Company across the globe to launch interactive services such as matrimony based classifieds, education services, cooking recipes on-demand and 24x7 darshan on TV. Now, with the launch of the Programming Guide in Hindi, the company has achieved yet another global first.


With the new Programming Guide, Tata Sky subscribers can choose to view and navigate the 4-day TV listings in English or Hindi, at the press of a button. Since, Hindi is not only the national language, but also one of the most widely read and understood languages in India, this new feature will make it easier for millions of viewers across the country to plan and organise their TV viewing more effectively.


Mr. Vikram Kaushik, Managing Director & CEO, Tata Sky Limited, said, “We are the first company across the globe to introduce advanced technology, to give subscribers the flexibility to choose the language in which they want to view daily programme listings on TV, at the press of a button. A large majority of the population in India are proficient in Hindi and therefore, we are confident that the Programming Guide in Hindi will make planning daily TV viewing even more easy for many of our subscribers.”


The new Programming Guide has all the functionalities and navigation features that were available on Tata Sky so far. The only difference is that the viewer can choose the language of the Guide. If Hindi is selected as the language of preference, the viewer can read programme names, navigation instructions and even help on how to use Tata Sky services in Hindi.

 

 

Tata Sky signs Aamir Khan as a Brand Ambassador


Mumbai, July 2008: Tata Sky Limited,  the JV between the TATA Group and STAR, has signed Aamir Khan, one of India’s highly acclaimed actors, as a brand ambassador.

As our brand ambassador, he will be instrumental in communicating the benefits of Tata Sky to consumers across the country. It is our privilege to be associated with an actor of the highest caliber and excellent standing in the entertainment industry.”

Commenting on his association with Tata Sky, Aamir said, “I am delighted to be associated with Tata Sky. Since its launch, Tata Sky has redefined television viewing in India and I am proud to be associated with a brand that epitomizes continued innovation and excellence in home entertainment.”


Alluding to the popular Tata Sky tag line - Isko laga dala, toh life jingalala, he added, “I’m excited to play my part in making life jingalala for the Indian consumer”.

Further, to live up to its promise of top-class customer service, Tata Sky has set-up three high-end 24x7 call centres in Hyderabad, Mohali and Pune supporting 11 languages and introduced new means for payment of monthly subscription (credit card, auto debit, recharge vouchers).
