ETV Bal Bharat is a children's pay television channel owned by the Hyderabad-based ETV Network airing animated programming.[1] The network was launched on 27 April 2021, initially with channels on twelve distinct languages.[2]
Bal Bharat is the network's first television channel dedicated to children, and is the only one to include audio tracks in multiple languages, including eleven Indian ones and even English.[3] However, it was announced that the Punjabi, Odia, Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali, and Assamese regional channels of Bal Bharat would cease operations by 1 April 2022, leaving their audio feeds to remain with the other six languages on the main channel.[4]
