ZEE TV UK to start first live show next week

In an innovative move by a major UK based Indian broadcaster, ZEE TV will be launching a daily magazine show from next Wednesday and that also live for the first time.

‘ZEE Companion’ is described as a live show by the people and for the people. Through this locally produced show, ZEE is trying to connect with the viewer and become their companion. To aid this, ZEE will have several Companions, who will be confidantes and friends to the viewers throughout the day. Viewers can call in live to discuss their experiences or issues faced, share any causes they are passionate about, discuss any topics that interest them and also get guidance from a panel of renowned experts.

‘ZEE Companion’ will broadcast from ZEE Network’s UK newly built state-of-the-art studios. This is the first show to be produced at ZEE’s London studios with a promise to strike a chord with its audience. ‘ZEE Companion’ will broadcast weekdays at 13:30 and culminate into a half hour show at 18:30 with a renowned guest / expert.

The topics covered will range from relationships, health & wellbeing and law to social issues, careers and education and any other issue faced by the South Asian viewer. The eminent panel of experts as well as guests will help viewers find the best possible solutions. Viewers can call, email, or post on Facebook or Twitter to give their views or speak directly to the guests.

ZEE Europe CEO, Mr Neeraj Dhingra said, ���ZEE Companion will aim to be an extension of a South Asian household and their local support system here. We will take up various social issues which affect our subscribers and try our best to find the best possible solutions while giving them an opportunity to directly speak to various illustrious guests and experts. We look forward to an active interaction with our viewers through this unique live local programme.�۝

The show will be presented by Natasha Asghar and Anjali Kusre. While Natasha brings in maturity and compassion, Anjali is pumped with bubbliness and positive energy one cannot detach from. Produced by Sandip Patel and Amrit Basran of Genlock Films, this show is being directed by Amrit.
