The UK's first Sikh religious TV service, The Sikh Channel and Birmingham's Punjabi community radio station, Raaj FM have announced their new partnership.

The affiliation between the two media organizations will offer radio listeners and television viewers a multi-platform tool that will inform, educate and entertain.

Through this partnership, both media outlets will share resources in order to create joint programming for their users. Based at the heart of the West Midlands community, Raaj FM will continue to cater programming that involves discussing the cultural, social and religious issues that affect the Punjabi community. This awareness chimes with the Sikh Channel which also aims to raise religious and cultural awareness.

The link with Sikh Channel will allow the Raaj FM studios to be used to produce and record television programmes, whilst also allowing radio presenters the opportunity to broadcast and stream their shows on television and online.

Gurpal Singh, Manager of Raaj FM, "By joining forces with The Sikh Channel, we have taken the bold step to unite two popular Asian media organisations. This partnership will allow for our listeners and Sikh Channel viewers, nationwide and around Europe, to enjoy joint high quality broadcasting that embraces our shared cultural values."

Sikh Channel spokesman, Avtar Singh, "The Sikh Channel is pleased to be working closely and collaborating upon community programming with the Midlands most popular South Asian FM Radio Station. We recently aired a live television broadcast from the Raaj FM studios and this proved extremely popular with viewers and we hope to bring many new jointly produced programmes."

Sikh Channel's recent International Turban Awareness Day, supported by Raaj FM, saw thousands attend a gathering outside the Houses of Parliaments.

The Sikh Channel is manipulating and using the Sikh community, whereas it should be the Sikh community using the channel. They have no sense of responsibility that goes with being a media organisation. At least Raaj radio was serving the Sikhs with respect, lets hope traaj does not go down the same route as the Sikh Channel in this partnership.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
