Venus TV is an independent Asian entertainment channel based in London, owned by Venus TV Global Ltd. Broadcasting in the UK began in 2006, aimed at a mix of ethnic and religious communities, mainly viewers of South Asian background.
In the early days, the channel aired free on Sky Digital 805, running around the clock. In February 2010, Venus TV started live streaming on its website alongside the satellite feed. By March 2022, the channel dropped off the Sky UK line-up. Industry chatter pointed to Suraj TV taking the slot, though the broadcaster stayed quiet.
Programming is a mixed bag, built for the whole household. Bollywood films, cooking and lifestyle shows, advisory programmes, local community events, plus a religious block. Hindi dominates, while some older sources mention English, Urdu and Punjabi in talk and news slots. Compared with ARY or PTV Global, the channel leans away from hard news and big sports rights.
The core audience is South Asian viewers in the UK who want content close to their culture and language. Entertainment, faith and local programming share the schedule, so there is usually something on at any hour.
As for watching it today, the channel mostly lives on venustv.tv and live TV aggregators like TVWish, Teleon and VipoTV. Stream speed and picture quality are not covered in the source, so a quick tap on the stream will tell more than any write-up. One heads-up: a few directory pages in early 2026 show "Service Unavailable" for the channel, and some third-party services may geo-block films over licensing. Whether it loads can depend on which stream source is used.
Going by the facts above, access costs nothing and the content mix suits family viewing. The catch is patchy distribution since leaving Sky, so a click may not always bring up a working stream. Once a source works for you, bookmark the channel page for next time, and pass it along to anyone who might like it.
