History [edit]
When it was first launched on 21 February 1992, Star Plus was an English-language television channel showing international content from the U.S., the UK and Australia, with Zee TV being the Hindi-language channel.[31] However, after STAR (subsequently acquired by News Corporation) ended its relationship with Zee TV, Star Plus was transformed into a Hindi-language channel, with STAR World becoming the network's English-language channel. But competitors like Zee TV and Sony Entertainment Television were in the lead, and Star Plus struggled to survive with shows like Kora Kagaz and Saans. Star Plus found tremendous success in 2000 with the telecast of Kaun Banega Crorepati which gained mass popularity and established Star Plus as the highest rated entertainment channel in India.
In 2000, the company's CEO Sameer Nair and programming chief Tarun Katial introduced a number of new shows, which helped to solidify the channel's position as the leader in the Hindi general entertainment space.[32]
On 1 July 2001,Star Plus revealed It's first logo,a rectangular box colored navy blue and white,consisting a star in a square and Star Plus written in the rest of the rectangle. A voice says "yeh hai star plus".The color is a key component of the channel. Star Plus ended showcasing this logo on 13 June 2010.
On 13 June 2010, following the STAR Parivaar Awards, Star Plus revealed it's second logo,a ruby and white coloured star and Star Plus is written under the star.A voice says"rishta wahi,soch nayi".The color is a key component of the channel.
Star Plus HD, along with Star Gold HD, Star Movies HD and Star World HD, was launched on 15 April 2011. Star Plus HD carries the same schedule as the SD feed, but with different commercials. Star Plus HD was set to launch in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland by the end of 2011,[33] but it was delayed until 5 July 2012.[34]
Star Plus on iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad [edit]
Star Plus launched the Star Plus iOS app for Indian Market only for the iPhone, iPod Touch and the iPad, becoming India’s first general entertainment channel to make an entry into the mobile device space. This initiative will make entertainment content available on-the-go, allowing viewers to access their favorite shows on demand.[35]
