Vasantham Tv to launch on June 25th

Sri Lanka's newest Tamil language channel "Vasantham TV" will launch on June 25th according to sources quoting ITN. The channel is presently testing on VHF 9. This will be third full Tamil language channel in country after 'Shakthi TV" & "Nethra TV". The test transmissions are said to be not as clear as ITN however it may improve before the launch. This channel should at least cover the entire Western Province before the launch.

We believe that "Prime TV" will launch soon after this launch is completed.

Even though frequencies have not been allocated to these channels being state channels frequency allocations will be a breeze.
