We believe passionately that our programmes should reflect modern Britain and the rich diversity of our society. Sky viewers have access to 50 international channels in 16 languages including Gujarati, Hindi, Urdu, Arabic and Mandarin.
Sky TV delivers 17 channels focused on minority groups. These cover all genres from Entertainment, with channels such as Raj TV (British Asian English language channel) and TG4 (Gaelic), to Lifestyle and Culture, with the Africa Channel that was launched in September 2007, and News with channels such as Al-Jazeera and Russia Today.
We have 29 radio channels for minorities, faith and special interest groups, including Radio Rainbow (Ghana/West African) Sukh Sagar (a multi faith religious Asian channel), Radio Netherlands and many more.
On Sky's own channels we demonstrated our commitment to diversity through Sky Arts support for Black History month in October 2007. This included UK premieres of Gill Scott Heron's Black Wax and The Gospel According to Al Green.
Sky Movies also recently launched SBO World, a brand new, on-demand service, exclusive to Sky Player. It has over 150 World Cinema titles, making it one of the largest on-demand World Cinema services anywhere and showing content from Bollywood, Europe and the Far East.
