Orissa's first private sector television channel, OTV is set to graduate from a cable channel to a satellite channel soon. | |
| It has commenced testing its signal on satellite transponder as a precursor to its launch as an all-India television channel. |
| |
| Orissa Television (OTV), a pioneer in the electronic media space in Orissa, launched its cable-cast channel in 1997. |
| |
| While OTV was widely viewed through Cable Networks in many urban cities and towns of Orissa, it will now have a much larger reach through its satellite telecast, the company officials said. |
| |
| OTV's satellite signal testing has started on Insat 4A (at 83 degree east, Frequency 3725 MHz, symbol rate 26666 FEC ¾) since the last few days through the teleport of NSTPL, Noida. |
| |
| After its formal launch, OTV will be made available as a digital free-to-air channel. |
| |
| While OTV's primary focus will remain news and current affairs, it also plans to expand its entertainment content with primetime serials, film-based shows, as well non fiction and reality programmes. |
