Sri Lanka's first 24 Hour Sinhala Language Music Channel is expected to commence broadcasting on the Dialog TV platform from March 1st 2008.

This channel operated by Torana called "Channel C" is presently available on Dialog Mobile TV and is the first in Sri Lanka to follow the format adopted by international channels such as Music Television. It also becomes the second locally operated pay channel after "CiTi HiTz".

"Channel C" is expected to revolutionize the music industry in Sri Lanka and would become a stepping stone for budding young singers who want to take their music beyond radio and onto the television screens.

Hopefully this channel would eventually be available on other pay television platforms in the country after the initial contract with Dialog TV expires and would also be broadcast to pay television operators overseas for the benefit of the expatriates.
