Sangat Television

What Sangat Television does

Sangat Television, operating legally as Sangat TV Limited, is a UK-registered private limited company functioning as a charity-based Sikh media broadcaster under the governance of Sangat Trust, a registered UK charity. Founded in 2012 and headquartered at 20 Great King Street North, Birmingham, it broadcasts 24/7 on Sky Channel 763 in the UK and extends distribution globally through its own website (sangattelevision.org), iOS and Android/Google TV mobile applications, IPTV set-top boxes in India (via freetvplus.in, tangotvplus.com, and hinet.co.in), and a streaming partnership with Real X Australia. Programming covers Sikh religious content (kirtan, spiritual teachings, Guru Granth Sahib Ji), Sikh history documentaries, community news, mental health discussions, and values-led youth programming, supported by a volunteer presenter base alongside a small professional staff.

The company's technology footprint is a conventional multi-platform broadcast stack: live linear streaming via Vimeo CDN embedded on its own site, dedicated mobile apps on the App Store and Google Play Store, social media distribution on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram, and IPTV carriage through third-party set-top box operators in India. It does not describe proprietary AI, data, or platform technology of note, and integrates standard third-party tools for payments (Stripe, PayPal, Donorbox), banking (HSBC), and analytics (Google Analytics, reCAPTCHA). UK GDPR compliance is documented.

Sangat Television monetises through three streams: (1) advertising packages spanning TV commercials, programme sponsorships, and social media campaigns sold to Sikh and Punjabi businesses, with flexible pricing described as affordable; (2) charitable donations to Sangat Trust via one-off and monthly recurring contributions processed through multiple payment channels; and (3) merchandise sales through the Sangat Shop. It operates a portfolio of adjacent sub-brands under Sangat Trust — Sangat Aid (humanitarian relief), Sangat Matrimonial (Sikh matchmaking service with in-person events), Sangat Nauwjuan Sabha (youth engagement), and Sangat Studio (production facility) — which broaden the addressable surface beyond linear broadcasting into community services, events, and charitable programming. Customer segments are the British Sikh community (primary), Sikh professionals, Sikh youth, and Sikh/Punjabi SMB advertisers, with regional extensions into Australia, India, and Africa.
