TTD’s Sri Venkateswara Bhakti Channel (SVBC) will soon launch its services in another prominent language of South India — Tamil.

Speaking at the foundation stone laying ceremony of the ‘SVBC Studio and Office’ at the Replica Temple near Alipiri here on Wednesday, Trust Board Chairman Chadalawada Krishnamurthy said the temple management was keen on bringing an exclusive spiritual channel in Kannada too.

“The SVBC Channel was initiated with an aim to spread Hindu Sanatana Dharma across the globe through innovative spiritual and dharmic programmes. To supplement such efforts, a state-of-art studio with the latest technology will soon be established in the temple city.” He said the new facility would give talented artistes in the city and elsewhere a wider platform. Executive Officer D. Sambasiva Rao said the new facility would comprise three floors spread over 4500 sq feet and would be constructed at an estimated cost of Rs.14.50 crore. “The works will be completed within a year and the facility will have a live studio apart from two more studios with all the advanced technical equipment.” He said they would focus on telecasting quality programmes. TTD Board members P. Sudhakar Yadav and G. Bhanu Prakash Reddy, SVBC CEO Narasimha Rao, CE Chandra Sekhar Reddy, SE Ramesh Reddy and other officials took part.
