The Sikh Channel is a United Kingdom-based, free-to-air, Sikhi-focused satellite television channel. It broadcasts across Europe on satellite television, in Canada and is also streamed live on the internet. The Sikh Channel began to broadcast on 13 April 2009 on Sky channel 840, replacing Brit Hits. In the ethnic television category, there were numerous stations in Europe but none whatsoever dedicated to the Sikh faith. Sikh Channel is the FIRST broadcasting channel of its kind in the world broadcasting Sikh religious & cultural shows across the world.
Sikh Channel has managed to fill a huge void within the world of television, being the first channel to focus upon the essence of the Sikh faith, providing a European free-to-air television platform for Sikhs and non-Sikhs alike
