Comedy collective AIB is launching a brand new news comedy series called On Air with AIB on the Star Network in October. The 20-episode show (10 in English, 10 in Hindi) will be released on Hotstar first, followed by weekend airing on Star World and Star Plus.
Uday Shankar, CEO, Star India, said, "Based on extensive, exhaustive research, AIB is considered mildly entertaining and we should give them a show on our network.”
Ajit Mohan, Head of Hotstar, said: "We are sort of excited to bring AIB's brand of mature humour to our platform. This may be the start of a new era of quality content in India.”
On Air with AIB will be a weekly series with English and Hindi episodes dropping simultaneously on Hotstar on Thursdays and on Star World and Star Plus on Sundays. The series will cover themes of national and local interest with special focus on Andaman & Nicobar because nobody focuses on Andaman & Nicobar.
