  • Punjabi OTT KableOne launches on JioStore

    Punjabi OTT KableOne launches on JioStore

    MUMBAI: There’s palpable excitement at Punjabi OTT platform KableOne. It recently got onboarded onto the JioStore. Promoted by the Karnal (Haryana)-based  Seven Colors Broadcasting with the backing of leading Punjabi film production house Saga Studios, the streamer was launched in iOS, android, Apple TV, Android TV, Samsun Tizen, LG WebOS, Firestick and CloudOS versions a month or so ago.

    KabelOne’s offering includes movies on demand, live channels and radio. The app was developed by Modern Streaming Solutions. Saga Studios, has a a large movie library with some of the prominent films being Ardas Karan, Subedar Joginder Singh, Manje Bistre, Warning, and Cheta Singh, among others.

    “We are bringing out stories from Punjab, for the world. I believe in the vision with which we have built this platform, and Punjab and its stories are definitely the next big thing,” KableOne CEO  Simranjeet Singh had expressed in a release at the time of its launch.

    Singh has partnered with Mumbai-based production houses like Shalimar Productions  for films such as Constable Harjeet Kaur which are currently on the floor. Films such as Do Dooni Panj are slated for a release on 27 September, while others such as Warning and Cheta Singh are targeted to launch in early October. Subtitles in English make the films accessible to non-Punjabi viewers as well.

    Amongst the live channels it is offering are those providing Sikh devotional hymns from across the world, YRF Music, and Saga Music Hits in Haryanvi.

    Premium ad-free subscription is priced at Rs 4,000 annually, with four devices being allowed to be logged in simultaneously. The same offer is available for a biannual premium plan priced at Rs 2,500 for  six months. If premium subscribers want to pay monthly, then their tab is Rs 600 a month.  The Rs 2,500 one time payment per annum basic plan allows for just two devices to be logged in simultaneously, with the per monthly price being Rs 249. KableOne is currently giving away a Noise headphone priced at Rs 5,999 to premium subscribers.

    Will the KabelOne  catch on? 

    Subscription numbers were not available at the time of writing but keeping in mind the  high disposable income in the hands of Punjabis the world over, it well might. But for it to sustain, the management will have to have deep pockets and keep refreshing the catalogue at regular intervals to reduce churn. 

    Streaming, as the big boys such as Disney+Hotstar, Netflix, Prime Video have learnt, requires lots of steam to stay in business.

    Mumbai: BIG FM, a radio network, launched its highly anticipated ‘BIG Green Durga’ campaign at a press conference on 19 September at The Astor, Kolkata.  At the event, renowned actress Aparajita Adhya was announced as the ambassador of the campaign, kicking off this year’s eco-friendly initiative aimed at inspiring people to work towards a cleaner and greener city. She revealed the details of the campaign, expressing her strong support for the initiative. Aparajita emphasized the importance of sustainability during Durga Puja and urged the community to engage in the campaign’s efforts actively.

    This year, ‘BIG Green Durga’ takes a unique approach to tackling plastic pollution, focusing on recycling through a community-driven plastic collection drive. Held across neighbourhoods, colleges and markets, the collected waste will be used to create an upcycled Durga idol, which will be donated to a government or corporate facility after the puja symbolizing sustainability. This year’s campaign also highlights female Dhaakis, challenging traditional norms by featuring women drummers during the festivities. Additionally, Patachitra storytelling, a modern twist on the ancient scroll-based art form, will be narrated by a Patachitra artist and amplified through BIG FM’s platforms.

    Sharing her excitement, Aparajita Adhya, shared, “I am truly honoured to be part of BIG FM’s ‘BIG Green Durga’ campaign. I have always been passionate about eco-friendly practices and this initiative deeply resonates with me. Collecting plastic waste from the community and transforming it into a Durga idol is truly inspiring. This campaign goes beyond raising awareness—it is about taking meaningful action. I commend the BIG FM team for their dedication and the sponsors for supporting such an important cause. Together, let us work toward a greener, cleaner future and celebrate Durga Puja responsibly.”

    Adding to it, BIG FM COO Sunil Kumaran said, “At BIG FM, our philosophy has always centred around creating a positive impact through meaningful initiatives that resonate with our listeners. BIG Green Durga is a natural extension of this belief, encouraging communities to embrace sustainability while celebrating our heritage.

    Following the success of the past two seasons, which made significant strides in promoting eco-friendly practices, we are excited to continue the momentum with the third season of BIG Green Durga. We are also proud to have Aparajita Adhya as the face of this year’s campaign, along with the support of our esteemed sponsors, who have all come together to make this initiative a success.”

    Each year, the BIG Green Durga campaign selects a prominent face to embody the spirit of ‘Shakti,’ with past ambassadors including Rituparna Sengupta in the first season and Priyanka Sarkar in the second. This year, with Aparajita Adhya, BIG FM aims to raise awareness and inspire communities to participate in the campaign’s eco-friendly initiatives. The campaign will culminate with a grand Durga Puja celebration from October 9 to 13 at the Kund Area, Salt Lake City Centre, one of Kolkata’s most vibrant cultural hubs. The highlight of the festivities will be an upcycled Durga idol, symbolizing the campaign’s commitment to sustainability and responsible celebrations.

    Major sponsors, including Meghbela Broadband as the Presenting Sponsor, Bosumati Basmati Rice as the co-powered by sponsor, Magic Moments Verve Music Studio as the Celebration Partner, XUV 400 as the Driven By Partner, and Suzuki Avenis as the Ride Partner, took the stage to pledge their support, underscoring a shared commitment to fostering an eco-friendlier festive season. Additionally, Duta Guro Masala, Senco Gold and Diamonds, Titan Eye+ and Damro joined as Associate sponsors, with The Astor as the Hospitality Partner and Irus and Image Eyewear as the Gift Partner. Shalimar Avida Agarbatti was also on board as the Prayer Partner along with Allen Healthcare as a Skincare Partner. The event gave key partners and sponsors a platform to discuss their contributions to the cause, followed by an interactive session where guests explored the themes of sustainability and community-driven change in greater depth.
