History

In 2006, KCCL successfully launched its first project - Kerala Vision Channel; through this initiative, KCCL brought all independent cable net works of Kerala under a common brand name Kerala Vision which is capable of delivering popular and variety programmes to the nooks and corner of Kerala - from Kasargod to Trivandrum. It is the first IP TV (Internet Protocol TV) technology-enabled Cable channel in India.

Kerala Vision reaches 90% of geographical area across 14 Districts of Kerala and in terms of reach is much ahead of its main competitor. Kerala Vision channel operates from its leased studio complex located at Kadavanthra, Cochin, with an area of 3,000 sq ft (280 m2).
