Captain TV will be launched on April 14.2010

Popular Tamil actor-turned-politician Vijaykanth’s 24 hour news and entertainment TV channel Captain TV, which had its logo launch on January 14, will be launched on April 14. The channel has already started its test run under the supervision of Vijayakanth’s brother-in-law and managing director of Captain Media L.S. Sudheesh.

“Captain TV will be a complete entertainment channel with the usual mix of movie-soaps-shows between Mondays to Fridays and limited dose of news. English movies with Tamil dubbing would be telecast on Saturdays and Sundays and latest Tamil movies on weekends. We will take our party’s policies to the public through the five news bulletins a day,” Sudheesh said.

The Maran-owned Sun TV, Jaya TV owned by AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa, Makkal TV run by PMK founder Dr. S. Ramadoss, the DMK-run Kalaignar TV, Congress MP K.V.Thangkabalu’s Mega TV and Vasanth TV owned by Congress legislator H. Vasanth Kumar are the leading players in Tamil TV.
