"TV Asia" was the first Asian TV channel to be founded in the UK in 1990. It was Europe's first entertainment and information channel for the South Asian community from the Indian subcontinent. TV Asia was conceptualised & founded by Wasim Mehmood and Mohan Thariyan. Once TV Asia secured its Channel status in the UK in 1992, it was sold to a partnership formed between the top Indian talent represented by Amitabh Bachchan and after two successful years the channel was sold at a profit to Dolphin Group owned by Ketan Somaiya. Dolphin Group negotiated the deal for the channel to be sold to Subash Chandra's flagship Zee (India) and TV Asia was renamed as Zee TV (UK).
In North America, TV Asia was also the first coast-to-coast entertainment and information channel for the South Asian community settled in the U.S.. In spite of different ownership, currently TV Asia has retained the same logo and style of programming and airs regularly scheduled programs in Hindi, English, Gujarati & other regional languages, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As South Asians choose to maintain a close interest with the affairs of their homeland, this channel is dedicated to bringing the South Asian-American community together by delivering a high quality channel both in content and on-screen presentation. The channel's appeal is based on its wide range of programming, ensuring the broadest possible audience. From news, local community news, and educational programs to dramas, music, movies, in-house programs and more, viewers and advertisers alike gain from TV Asia's unique blend of interesting, informative and entertaining programs. Current Chairman/CEO of TV Asia is "H.R. Shah".
