Nepal 1 was the first Nepali language Indian satellite infotainment channel broadcasting from New Delhi, India. Nepal 1 tv was very popular between 2004 AD to 2015 AD for breaking news and news programmes when there were very few satellite channels in Nepal.
Its entertainment programme, talk show and soap opera were also very popular. It was always a head in news than government owned Nepal Television and Channel Nepal. Later on it got more 2 competitors; Kantipur tv and Image Metro but both of them were non satellite. Even when they latee on went on satellite, Nepal 1 was always a head in news as it says in its slogan 'सधैं अगाडि' (Always a head).
After 2015, it closed its office in Nepal and started to telecast news of India in Hindi language from same Delhi based station. It was a sign that it is going to collapse soon. Earlier it used to collect news from Nepal. It used to run live talk show from Kathmandu based office, sent news and read it from news studio in its Delhi earth station.
After closing Nepal office and shutting its Nepali programme, the channel was suspended by all cable tv in Nepal as there was no point of telecasting a foreign channel that used the name of a sovereign nation but telecast program in foreign language.
Nepal 1 tv was never shut but it has changed its logo's name from Nepal 1 to N1. It now re-telecast the same news shown by another India channel; APN TV. Now channel sometime telecast programme regarding Khukuri knife and religious stuff in Nepali language spoken in Indian tone.
