In March, 2005, one of the UTV founders, Zarina Mehta became Hungama's head of programming. In early 2006, he was promoted to chief operating officer of the channel.[3]
In July, 2006, Disney India acquired a controlling stake in Hungama TV from UTV Software Communications while also taking a 14.9% share in UTV.[4] In 2006, Disney acquired Hungama TV from UTV.[5]
The channel started with both live-action and animated programming but, following the success of Doraemon, gradually shifted its focus to solely animated programming.[6][7] In 2013, Hungama started adding original Indian series as a part of a localisation strategy.[8]
In October 2021, it was announced that the channel would gain an HD simulcast, alongside a sister network named Super Hungama, a rebranding of Marvel HQ.[9] However on 30 November, the planned launch date of 11 December was then delayed to 1 March 2022.[10] Hungama TV's sister, Super Hungama, was officially launched on 1 March 2022, replacing Marvel HQ.[11]
Programming
Controversy
A Hindi dub of the Shin Chan anime started airing on Hungama TV on 19 June 2006, and it gained up to 60% of the channel's market share.[12] There were complaints from parents over the main character's behaviour and the attitudes exhibited towards elders on the show, both of which were seen as a negative influence on children. This resulted in the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting banning further airing of the series as-is in 2008, and requiring the series to be re-edited and re-dubbed to remove the disrespect towards elders in order to air again on the network.[13]
