SAB TV (also known as Sony Sab) is an Indian pay television channel owned by Sony Pictures Networks specialising in comedy shows and soap operas.
History
Sony Sab was launched by Sri Adhikari Brothers on April 23, 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 itselt 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]
