Already a leader (if not the leader!) in international programming, DISH Network has launched the PTC Punjabi channel. This new channel brings exclusive programming to U.S. subscribers including popular favorites such as Preeto TOP10, Voice of Punjab, Ghar Ghar Vich Ghuggi and Miss PTC Punjabi 2010.

There’s lots more to see on PTC Punjabi, including news, current events and other informative programming featuring the Punjabi perspective on various issues that affect the world.

PTC Punjabi can be found on DISH Network channel 604 for subscribers as part of its Punjabi Pack, which also includes GPunjab-Newstime, Alpha Etc Punjabi, Jus Punjabi TV, Pubjabi TV, Jus One and MH1 for just $19.99 per month.

“With the addition of PTC Pubjabi, the No. 1 rated Punjabi channel in India, we continue to provide our customers with the most high-quality channels of any TV company in America,” according to Chris Kuelling, vice president of international programming for DISH Network. “DISH Network is proud to be the go-to TV provider for the widest variety of top-rated International programming at the absolute best price in the industry.”

PTC Punjabi director and COO Rajiee Shinde had this to say: “PTC Network has always strived to provide more than just television to every Punjabi. We strive to be a part of their everyday life and we are glad that through DISH Network, we are also able to touch every Punjabi’s life in the U.S.”

DISH Network has formed a new partnership with NeuLion, Inc. a company that offers IPTV service that features live and on-demand international sports and other programming that is access via high-speed internet.

The new agreement will allow NeuLion to distribute some DISH Network international channels over their IPTV service. More and more people are getting TV entertainment on the internet these days and companies and networks are moving to satisfy the demand.

DISH Network offers the most international programming in the business with more than 180 international channels in more than 28 different languages.

Although “satellite TV on your PC” has been a common theme used by scammers selling various lists of web sites that carry TV programming, this partnership looks to make “satellite TV on your PC” a reality – at least some of the programming anyway.

The lines appear to be blurring more and more between television entertainment and the internet. With TV networks making some of their most popular programs available to watch online and new developments like the one between DISH and NeuLion, it appears that we can expect to see more partnerships like this in the future.

Personally, I’m most happy in my recliner in front of my 51-inch HDTV when I want to watch some television, but I have actually caught some of my favorite programs online after missing them on my DVR due to some error on my part, and it’s really quite handy in those circumstances.
