MUMBAI: The Nikhil Waghle led 24x7 Marathi news channel Maharashtra 1, which started its service in September last year, is all set to hop on to the Tata Sky direct to home (DTH) platform.

Tata Sky will be the first DTH platform that the channel will mark its presence on. 

Maharashtra 1 will be a free-to-air channel available on channel number 802.

“We are currently present on all the multi-system operators (MSOs) except UCN Nagpur. Now with a presence on Tata Sky, we have made a move towards DTH. We decided to go ahead with Tata Sky because it’s a premium platform and fits the bill for a premium channel like ours,” said a channel official.
