MUMBAI: Pakistan's ARY Digital Network has launched two more channels in the United States and North America .

After the success of its flagship general entertainment channel, ARY Digital and its 24 hour news and current affairs channel ARY One World, the network now rolls out QTV - the 24 hour Islamic channel and a music channel Musik.

Both these channels became available on the EchoStar's Dish Network platform from 20 April.

"One of our basic objectives is to help our music, entertainment, language, and basically our culture find a voice and reach the world over," says ARY Digital Network president and CEO Salman Iqbal.

"Our channels are trying to bridge the geographical divide that exists for that huge population of people that have migrated from their homelands."

The Network continues to expand its reach and distribution - with launch of Musik in the United Kingdom on 2 May 2006, adding to the existing ARY Digital, ARY One World and QTV packages.

In June 2006, ARY Digital Network will also be launching ARY Digital, ARY One World and QTV in New Zealand and Australia.

"We are proud to say that we are the largest South Asian Television network in the world with the most channels being distributed internationally, " stated Iqbal. "It's important for a network to be able to provide options to suit the taste buds of a wide cross section of viewers, be it in any region."

The Islamic channel QTV is also visible in India.
