Watch Video

The much anticipated UK launch of Pakistani entertainment, Urdu1 has got one step closer after full video tests appeared off the Sky EPG.

As previously reported, the channel was EPG testing without video. However, earlier today, Urdu1 began full video testing with sound.

Urdu1 is one of Pakistan’s most popular channels, which also owns the rights of ‘Masterchef Pakistan’, ‘The Voice Pakistan’ and a number of other popular franchised series.

Urdu1 has fast become one of Pakistan’s most popular channels since it launched in 2012. In the UK, it will join the big guns, Hum TV, Geo TV and A Plus Europe. The channel is hoping to fill the void after the exit of ARY Digital from the UK market.

Urdu1 is expected to be added to the Sky EPG line-up towards the end of March.
