Draft:List of Tulu language channels

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tulu General Entertainment Channels

Tulu General Entertainment Channels (GECs) are television and digital platforms that broadcast entertainment content in the Tulu language. Tulu is a Dravidian language predominantly spoken in the Tulu Nadu region of coastal Karnataka and northern Kerala, India. Despite its longstanding cultural and theatrical heritage, television content in Tulu has remained limited. However, efforts have increased in recent years to promote the language through regional channels and digital media.

History

Tulu television content initially appeared as segments on Kannada and other regional language channels. As interest and demand for native language programming grew, several dedicated Tulu channels and digital platforms were launched. These platforms aim to provide culturally relevant content and strengthen the presence of Tulu in the media landscape.
