			== History ==
			In 2000, [[Doordarshan]] and later [[Disney Star\|Star TV]]'s former head, Rathikant Basu, established TARA, which stood for ''Television Aimed at Regional Audiences''.<ref>{{cite book\|editor1-last=Parks\|editor1-first=Lisa\|editor2-last=Kumar\|editor2-first=Shanti\|title=Planet TV: A Global Television Reader\|date=2003\|publisher=NYU Press\|isbn=0814766927\|page=343\|edition=illustrated \|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cpSGuY4Zf0gC&pg=PA343#v=onepage&q&f=false\|access-date=28 June 2022}}</ref> The network comprised four regional television channels in Bengali, Punjabi, Gujarati, and Marathi languages, all of which besides the Bengali one have shut down because of financial losses.<ref>{{cite news\|url=https://www.financialexpress.com/archive/tara-marathi-shuts-shop-as-firm-incurs-major-losses/65060/\|title=Tara Marathi Shuts Shop, As Firm Incurs Major Losses\|date=2 January 2003\|access-date=28 June 2022\|work=[[The Financial Express (India)\|The Financial Express]]}}</ref> On 21 February 2005, Tara exited the general entertainment genre due to stiff competition from its rivals, such as [[Colors Bangla\|ETV Bangla]] and [[Zee Bangla\|Alpha Bangla]], and split Tara Bangla into two television channels, [[Tara Newz]] and Tara Muzik, devoted to news and music programming respectively.<ref>{{cite news\|url=https://www.indiantelevision.com/headlines/y2k5/feb/feb86.htm\|title=Tara exits general entertainment; to launch news, music channels\|date=9 February 2005\|access-date=28 June 2022\|work=Indian Television}}</ref> Within less than a month after its launch, Tara Muzik had the second-highest viewership among Bengali-language television channels in India, behind only ETV Bangla.<ref>{{cite news\|url=https://www.indiantelevision.com/headlines/y2k5/may/may24.htm?amp\|title=Tara Muzik claims second spot in Bengali TV rankings\|date=6 May 2005\|access-date=28 June 2022\|work=Indian Television}}</ref> In 2010, Saradha Group acquired the two channels from Broadcast Worldwide, which owned the Tara television network.<ref name="closing"/>

			=== Financial crisis and shutdown ===
			In early 2013, Tara Muzik suspended regular programming and began airing repeat telecasts due to financial reasons.<ref name="onair"/> On 14 April 2013, they, along with its sisters, Tara Newz and [[TV Southasia]], were given a closure notice, leading to employees who refused to shut the channels down breaking down on live television.<ref name="onair">{{cite news\|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/tara-channels-stay-on-air/articleshow/19589221.cms\|title=Tara channels stay on air\|date=17 April 2013\|access-date=28 June 2022\|work=[[The Times of India]]}}</ref> According to general manager Indrajit Roy, Saradha Group, the owners of the three channels, were no longer willing to fund them.
