History
In December 2012, the Intelligence Bureau of India flagged Kantipur Television as a "hate channel" allegedly broadcasting anti-India programming. It was one of the twenty-four "illegal" channels to have been flagged.[3] Kantipur Television launched a sister channel, Kantipur Gold, on 19 February 2015.[4] This was on the occasion of the 22nd anniversary of Kantipur Publications.[5][6] The channel later commenced formal broadcasts on 18 September 2015.[7] The channel, however, was shut down in December 2016.[citation needed]
The network started broadcasting in HD on 14 December 2017.[2][8] On 19 March 2021, Kantipur Television launched Kantipur Cineplex HD, a new television station in Nepal focusing on movie broadcasting in association with Highlights Nepal, the largest movie distributor and digital partner in Nepal. Kantipur Cineplex HD has now been renamed as Kantipur Max HD.[citation needed]
