The internal problems amongst the management led to the closure of Aapna channel. As a result 3 new channels have emerged started by the old management of Aapna TV. These being:
- Aap TV – already testing on Sky channel 803
- KBC & KBC 2 which also started video testing on Sky – see below:

KBC & KBC 2 begin video testing on Sky Digital
Aug 11, 2008 10:51 PM
Upcoming Kashmiri channels KBC and KBC 2 (Kashmir Broadcasting Corporation) have begin video testing off the Sky EPG ahead of their official launches.
The channels, which officially launch on Sky Digital next week will become the second and third channel respectively with a focus on Kashmiri programmes. Aap TV has been available on the platform for the past few weeks.
The KBC channels are being launched by the Afsar Group from Birmingham. Whilst KBC will be added to the Sky EPG next week, live programming on the channels dont begin until Sunday 24th August.
It will be the first Asian TV service to simultaneously launch a secondary channel. Currently it’s unclear what the second channel, known as KBC2, will broadcast. However EPG data testing off the Sky EPG of KBC2 suggests it will be a timeshift channel, telecasting shows one hour later to its flagship service. A first for Asian TV in the UK.
Tests of KBC can be viewed in the following way:
-> Using your Sky Digi remote, go to Services Menu
-> System Setup (4)
-> Add Channels (4)
-> Enter the frequency: 12.525 (V), FEC 2/3, Symbol Rate 27500
-> Find Channels and Press SELECT
-> Highlight "53275" service and press Yellow button.
-> Return to Services Menu

I don't understand having two channels with the same content...
9X and 9xm is cool as you know what it is all about!
As for current content, it's all the old Aapna content
Any of you guys know much about Roots Global?
Whats wrong with KBC?
The reason that they have got 2 channels is becasue the KBC2 will become an +1 hour channel, i.e programmes shown on KBC will be shown hour later on KBC2.
Yes yesterday they were broadcasting, the same content due to some technical difficulties, plus KBC 2 is the channel that is broadcasted on other satellite.
The reason that old Aapna content is being broadcasted is becasue, the programming team is from Aapna.

Samad "I heard DM Digial is going HDTV mode. Pure high definition."
DM's play out and Technical capabilities is a joke, and they are looking to move to HD? lol!!
aminas "Do people actually watch channels like DM, AAP and KBC" Tell me Aminas are you Stupid or Dump or are you both? Do you have any common sense? Look at the forum!!
Rock express, Aaptv is on test phase at the moment, i hear they are looking to go live in 2 weeks, the reason for their content has been limited (poor) is there offices where broken into and their content was stolen... Tell me KBC TV, you appear to stream old Aapna content .... where did you get the content from?
Hi!
What is KBC
Kashmir Broadcasting Corporation is a limited company registered with Company House UK trading as KBC – a UK based multilingual, independent and global satellite television channel broadcasting for South Asians across UK, Europe, Africa, Middle East and Asia. The channel is setup by a British Kashmiri entrepreneur in conjunction with experienced team ‘Aapna Channel’ – the first ever independent Kashmiri channel.
I hope that can give you answer, why we own the ex-aapna channel's films.

KBC Tv why not just say we own the Ex-aapna Channel films in stead of the PR crap you wrote?
You both appear to stream stream old Aapna content..... I'm sure KBC legal team would of put a stop to Aaptv playing any out content.
I believe you don't own it as if you did Aap TV wouldn't be streaming it. It looks like you have around 90% and Aap Tv have 10%
You (KBC) guys mostly likely hired out a big van and broke into the old Aapna studio's hmm around about 3am and took .....took ...and took some more....!
Tell me you are going to do live shows will you have the same people and same premium rate numbers?
Tell me is it true the ex aapna directors are now on a salary and and don't have any say Mr Najib is the man in charge?
One Tree Hill, As for DM ......read the forum.....!
