The US houses so many Indians across ethnic origins and cultures and religions. Zee made it a point to gift everyone with something special. After Zee TV’s successful debut, it gradually brought forth Zee Cinema, Alpha Punjabi and Zee Sports all of which cater to different needs and genres. The diverse abundance of this offering helped it gain a strong foothold across a wide spectrum of TV viewers.

With Baseball gaining precedence in game and in publicity over Cricket, it was difficult for South Asians to catch a good glimpse of their favourite game for quite some time. Zee Sports broke the mould. Free cricket and he best of Bollywood was a combination that made heads turn and kept them their way for good. In the USA, Zee TV is currently available on Dish Network, leading cable systems such as Comcast, Time Warner, Cablevision, Cox and Charter alongside a few more. Its IPTV platforms are AT&T and Verizon.

Zee TV USA also scripted history by making an attempt to steep further into the cultural vein of the Indians staying in the US. It localised one of its flagship shows ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa’ for the Indo-Americans. It bagged the number one rating across all available parameters. The show gained immense popularity after it was launched in 2008. The Zee Carnival launched in 2008 was also a runaway hit as it was in other parts of the world.
