AJTV 3
AJTV 3 is the children and youth channel of Ajas Jasmo. Broadcasting terrestirally to Dogyon Khul and some other regions of Omawate by spillover, as well as nationwide by cable and satellite, the channel delivers a 20-hour schedule (05:00 to 01:00 the following morning) in the Dogyon language. Most of the output is from outside the country, and subsequently dubbed in the local language.
History[edit | edit source]
In 1996 Ajas Jasmo decided to create two new channels for UHF and cable. AJTV 2 was going to be a combined news and sports channel (channel launched January 1, 1997) and AJTV 3 a variety channel. The former was to broadcast 16:00 to 00:00 and the latter 18:00 to 00:00.
Back then, outside of Tomoweru, television channels had to broadcast for a limited number of hours due to energy concerns. The main channel (henceforth AJTV 1) had two periods, 07:00 to 09:00, and 15:30 to 00:00.
The channel absorbed some of AJTV 1's international content that attracted fewer viewers or was in lower demnad.
