The UK’s No.1 Asian Lifestyle Channel Zing is set to broadcast a new UK produced drama series in an initiative never seen before on UK Asian Television. Zing will launch Cloud 9 on 7th January 2013, occupying the weekday prime time slot of 6.30pm.
Archana Kanade, Zing Business Head says “The future of British Asian TV is here! With Cloud 9, Zing is taking Asian entertainment in the UK to the next level. This soap comes at a time when the Asian population is growing rapidly and is the largest ethnic population in the UK; it is this audience that Cloud 9 will cater to.”
Cloud 9 represents a milestone in Asian entertainment as the first Asian daily soap-series to be produced in the UK, specifically catering to a British-Asian audience. This soap highlights the British-Asian lifestyle, drawing on familiar themes, issues and day to day events within the British-Asian community. With the backing of a stellar cast and production team this avant-garde soap-series, showcases the British Asian community in its true form, tackling widely perceived stereotypes regarding the UK-s largest ethnic group – the South Asians.
Cloud 9 follows the lives of British-Asian residents of a London town, presenting a range of characters, explored by the soap-s pivotal star Ajay – a young Brit-Asian finding his way in life.
Keeping in line with the elements of multi-cultural British life, the cast will feature a mix of Brit Asian, English and true ‘desi’ characters. The casting and production of Cloud 9 features several high-brow names alongside a high grade production value that rivals mainstream standards. The Cloud 9 series will be entirely in English.
Zing is a featured channel on the popular Yamgo mobile TV network. Ian Mullins, CEO of Yamgo talks about the Cloud 9 development, “It’s fantastic to see such a great new programme catering to audiences which previously had little choice in TV that appealed directly to them. Zing has accomplished something great in the release of Cloud 9 and we couldn’t be happier to deliver it to our viewers”.
The Cloud 9 series starts on 7th January 2013 at 6.30pm. Viewers can watch Cloud 9 for free at http://yamgo.mobi/zing . To keep up with the latest news on Cloud 9 you can visit the Zing Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/ZingUK
