Muhunthan donates a Buddhist TV channel

Former Chief Executive Officer of the CBNSat; Muhunthan Canagey donated the Country’s first Buddhist television channel to Ven Welamitiyave Kusaladamm thera recently.
Explaining the objective behind the new channel he said that it was a dream that has become a reality and had been in the plans of CBNSat for many years, however it was delayed due to unavoidable circumstances.
“We wanted to launch a Buddhist channel on the platform; but subsequently with the political interference into the CBNSAT, mostly known to many as the CBNSAT fiasco, the project had to be almost abandoned with my moving out of the organisation and having sold-out the shareholding to Dialog Telekom. The Ven Welamitiyave Kusaladamm thera was one person who was keen over this idea. So, we have donated a complete channel with state-of- the-art equipment. In fact, this is the first ever HD studio in Sri Lanka,” Muhunthan told the LAKBIMAnEWS FEB ,

The channel will be available across the whole of South Asia on KU band and some southern parts of China; with the idea to make it a global Buddhist channel with multilingual features so that each region will benefit from it. Sri Lankans can have free access to the channel through Dialog TV.
“My focus of the Buddhist channel was to enlighten the rich cultural, art, education, and teachings of The Buddha; which was quite important for people to know the facts beyond what they have been seeing in the past. I mean, not the political ones that they usually see on local media. There are temples in countries, like Thailand doing so much towards nature conservation programs; monasteries in Tibet, overlooking the Himalayan mountain ranges. Therefore, these great cultural sites should be shown to the Sri Lankan Buddhists particularly,” he added.
