STAR Plus is a Hindi language general entertainment television channel and the largest Asian Channel in the UK. Star Plus is owned by STAR TV UK whose head office is in London. The channel is part of the STAR TV network's bouquet of channels. Star Plus' programming primarily consists of family dramas and telefilms. This channel is also distributed to worldwide by Fox International Channels, subsidiary of 21st Century Fox. The majority of programming on Star Plus UK is subtitled in English. In September 2015, Star Plus aired its first Urdu language Pakistani drama—''Mera Naam Yusuf Hai'', following the success of Pakistani dramas on another Indian channel Zindagi, thus making it the first international drama to be aired on the channel. The serial broke all the records of the channel and became the most watched and the most critical and commercial successful drama to be ever aired on Star Plus.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dawn.com/news/1147642 )〕 ==History== When it was first launched on 21 February 1992, Star Plus was an English-language television channel showing international content from the U.S., UK and Australia during an agreement between Star and Zee TV. However, after STAR (subsequently acquired by News Corporation) ended its relationship with Zee TV, Star Plus was transformed into a Hindi language channel, with STAR World (no longer available in the UK) becoming the network's English-language channel. In 2000, the company's CEO Sameer Nair and programming chief Tarun Katial introduced a number of new shows.〔 〕 On 3 April 2010, following the Star Plus Parivaar Awards, Star Plus revealed its new logo. The new logo is a ruby-coloured star with the trademark swoosh in white and the name of the channel in a new font. The new colour is a key component of the channel. The new theme is ''"Rishta Wahi Soch Nayi"'' meaning the relationships are still the same but our thoughts are new. Unlike Star Plus in India, Star Plus UK began broadcasting in 16:9 Widescreen on the Standard definition channel from Sunday 1 July 2012 in preparation for the HD channel launch.〔Star Plus UK goes widescreen - http://www.media247.co.uk/bizasia/star-plus-uk-goes-widescreen〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Star Plus (UK and Ireland)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
