Odia TV Channels List: Entertainment, News, Music and Devotional Channels
Odia TV Channels List: Entertainment, News, Music and Devotional Channels – Odia television has developed into a diverse regional broadcasting ecosystem covering entertainment, news, movies, music, devotional programming, culture, lifestyle and children’s content. From established satellite networks to newer regional channels and digital-first platforms, viewers in Odisha and Odia-speaking communities outside the state have access to a wide range of programming in the Odia language.
This updated list provides an overview of Odia TV channels currently available or relevant to the Odia television market in 2026, while distinguishing between mainstream satellite channels and channels that are primarily digital or have changed their status.
Note: Channel availability can vary by DTH operator, cable network and location. Channel line-ups also change over time, so this list should be treated as a general reference rather than a DTH channel-number guide.
