SABe TV continues on its promise of providing 'relief' to viewers with the launch on 25 February of a new sitcom Sajan Tu Jhoot Mat Bol. 

The show is directed by Rajan Waghdhare and written by Ashok Patole, the same team that has given the well known SABe TV sitcoms Yes Boss and Sriman Srimati.

Also launching on 25 February are some new current affairs progranmmes which will lock in the 10 to 10:30 pm band five days a week. Karan Thapar hosts two shows, Line of Fire on Mondays and Court Martial on Thursdays. Both the shows are in English. Veer Sanghvi hosts another English show Meeting of Minds on Tuesdays, while Priya Tendulkar anchors Jawab Talab, modelled on BBC's Hard Talk, Wednesdays.

To round it off on Fridays there is Khula Manch (open platform) which has Manoj Raguvanshi in the anchor's seat. Unlike the other new shows, though, Khula Manch is a one-hour programme.

Once these programming initiatives are instituted, SABe TV will have the distinction of not having a single soap in the time band from 7 pm to 10:30 pm. SABe TV's family dramas will essentially be confined to the afternoon slot.

The programming format is as follows:

Time    Programme
7:00 pm    Asterix
7:30 pm    Alif Laila
8:00 pm    Office Office
8:40 pm    Sajan Tu Jhoot Mat Bol
9:10 pm    Yes Boss
9:40 pm    Sriman Srimati
10:10 pm    Colonell (a whodunnit detective series)
10:30 pm - 11 pm    Current Affairs show
