SLT PEO TV INTRODUCES LIFE TV

Sri Lanka Telecom Peo TV reached another milestone yesterday when it announced the launch of its latest and exclusive local channel - Life TV.

The channel will begin test transmissions in the latter half of this month and hopes to begin full pledged operations by the end of next month, kicking off with the presidential election coverage. Life TV will be the first and exclusive local channel to be aired in the IPTV network.

Addressing the conference, Life TV CEO Kalum Palitha Maheerathne defined the station thus: "A channel that would portray life on the planet we live in which is shaped by civilisation and moulded by cultures."

He revealed that the station would bring together and enhance relationships between villages and towns; locally and internationally.

The virtual channel will be available only through the Peo TV network. The channel is expected to portray Sri Lankan lifestyles which would include music, culture and education related programmes.

SLT VisionCom CEO Thusha Weerasooriya commented: "We are on the road to bringing tuition class right to your homes."

He stressed on the importance of preserving national heritage, which he said was the motive of Life TV. Weerasooriya believed that "through other international channels that are being aired we hope to promote the local channels, which need the publicity."

The channel will include famous TV personalities such as Kosala Makuloluwa(Director Program), Piyadasa Rathnesinghe (Consultant), Lasantha Warusavithana (Creative director), Sanjay Withanage, Kaya Dias, Ravindra Munasinghe and so on.

Though SLT ADSL mostly operates in Colombo and greater Colombo areas, it also reaches areas such as Matara, Chilaw, Kandy and Anuradhpura. Weerasooriya stated that in the future they hoped to take Peo TV along with ADSL to the north and east when the infrastructure is developed.

He further added that operations could not be carried out as a result of the fibre network not being installed in the respective areas as yet.

SLT Peo TV is the ultimate IP TV gateway and provider of a total entertainment solution. More than 50 live channels, time-shift TV, channel memorising, live TV multi-audio and video on are a few features available from Peo TV.

The Champions League Twenty20 (CLT20) tournament brings together domestic leagues from seven nations as they clash for the top spot in Twenty20 cricket this October in India. The overall prize money the competition offers is a staggering USD six million dollars. The winner will take home USD 2.5 million dollars - the total prize money for the ICC World T20 held in England earlier this year.

The tournament boasts of some of the finest talent in world cricket like Adam Gilchrist, Virender Sehwag, Brendon McCullum, Dwayne Bravo and Ajantha Mendis. It will feature 12 teams as opposed to the 8 pencilled in originally making it a more inclusive and competitive event.

The teams that will compete in the inaugural contest are: DLF IPL Season 2 champions, Deccan Chargers, runners-up Royal Challengers Bangalore and third-placed Delhi Daredevils (India); New South Wales Blues and VB Victorian Bushrangers (Australia); Cape Cobras and Diamond Eagles (South Africa); Otago Volts (New Zealand); Wayamba (Sri Lanka); Trinidad & Tobago (West Indies) and winner of England’s domestic Twenty20 competition - Sussex and runners-up Somerset County Cricket Club.

The number of teams from any one country is decided of adequate representation of the leading driver nations. So in this year’s competition, we have three teams from India; two each from Australia, South Africa and England; and one each from New Zealand, Sri Lanka and West Indies.

TEAMS:

* Royal Challengers
* Deccan Chargers
* Delhi Daredevils
* Victorian Bushrangers

* Cape Cobras
* Diamond Eagles
* Otago Volts

India will host the inaugural edition of CLT20. Delhi, Hyderabad and Bangalore - the home venues of the IPL teams competing this season - will host matches. However, the venue for subsequent editions of the competition will be decided each year.

The teams will be divided into four groups of three each and will initially play each other on a league basis. The top two teams from each group will qualify for the second stage and four teams from the second stage will make it to the semi finals. A total of 23 matches will be played over a 16-day period in the inaugural edition of CLT20.

This is the first time ever that domestic leagues from different nations will lock horns in a prestigious competition. CLT20 can be viewed as the World Cup of club cricket. It is a platform for domestic/club teams to perform at the highest level, preparing players for the next step - representing, or performing even better for, their countries.
