Sony SAB (formerly SAB TV) is an Indian pay television channel owned by Sony Pictures Networks and specialising in comedy shows and soap operas.
History[edit]
Sony SAB was launched as SAB TV by Sri Adhikari Brothers (thus this SAB acronym) on 23 April 1999. At first it was launched as a Hindi-language comedy channel. Sony Pictures Networks took over SAB TV in March 2005[1][2] and rebranded it as Sony SAB, with a new focus on general entertainment[3] and eventually turning itself into a youth channel. In 2008, Sony Sab changed its appeal to being a Hindi-language generalist network.[4]
The high-definition feed of the channel was launched on 5 September 2016.[5]
