Zee-MGM channel launched

The Zee-MGM channel was launched on November 1. Under this venture, Zee has re-launched its English movie channel with MGM as the partner. Zee-MGM is primarily targeted at the South Asian market. The opening month would show movies like the Robin Williams starrer Cadillac Man, Mystic Plaza with Julia Roberts, Jackie Chan in Killer, Richard Gere in Breathless and French Kiss starring Meg Ryan.

IN the coming months, Zee-MGM would telecast movies like Thelma & Louise, Four Weddings And A Funeral and Moonstruck. It will also have James Bond and Pink Panther flicks which form the library of MGM. The MGM library has produced 3,000 titles since 1960.

The earlier, Zee Movies channel was launched on March 15 and reaches 11 million homes across India and is part of the Zee direct-to-operator bouquet. Other than India, the channel is available across Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal and Maldives.
