Nepali television listings often place national, specialist and regional services together. Nepal Television’s Kohalpur and Itahari names carry geographic information that a plain NTV label loses. Reading those names alongside the flagship, youth-oriented and news services gives a more useful picture of the country’s television than a simple channel total.
At a glance
| Reference | Detail |
|---|---|
| Regional roles | Kohalpur and Itahari are documented western/eastern regional television services. |
| Separate names | NTTV lists Nepal TV, NTV News, NTV Plus, Itahari and Kohalpur separately. |
| Historical development | NTV journal documents regional Kohalpur/Itahari development. |
Kohalpur and Itahari identify different regional perspectives
Nepal Television’s own 2020 journal describes the development of its western Kohalpur and eastern Itahari services. AsiaSat’s July 2023 partnership announcement also distinguishes their regional facilities and their news, public-affairs and economic reporting roles. These records establish the regional purpose behind the names.
That context matters when a viewer wants reporting connected with one part of Nepal. A national headline selection and a regional production can cover the same event at different levels of detail. The historical records do not establish the current operation of every studio or transmitter, so this guide does not turn those descriptions into a present reception guarantee.
The broader NTV names describe different program needs
The distribution partner’s account separates NTV’s flagship mix of entertainment, news and information from NTV Plus’s youth-oriented entertainment role and NTV News. These are documented editorial distinctions, rather than aliases for one picture.
Nepal Telecom’s retrieved NTTV list continues to identify Nepal TV, NTV Plus, NTV News, NTV Itahari and NTV Kohalpur separately. The list also includes other Nepali television brands, showing that an operator’s country category is broader than the Nepal Television family. It should not be read as proof that every listed service shares one producer or news agenda.
A distribution label is not the whole service description
The NTTV table uses national and local/regional categories alongside quality labels. Those fields are useful for identifying entries within that operator’s published offering, but they do not replace the regional production context documented by the broadcaster and its partner.
In particular, an HD suffix in a name is not a measured resolution result. A listing on one Nepalese operator also does not establish availability through another provider or from abroad. Preserve the full channel and regional name when comparing information; exact packages, current programs and individual viewing conditions require their own evidence.

A dated clock example
A program time needs a date and a named time zone. The example below converts the same fixed UTC instant into the zones recorded for this directory entry; it is an illustration rather than a live clock.

Useful answers
Why should I keep Kohalpur and Itahari in an NTV channel name?
The broadcaster’s historical journal and its distribution partner identify western and eastern regional roles. Removing the place name loses that distinction and can confuse regional reporting with the flagship or national news service.
Does Nepal Telecom’s table establish one schedule for every Nepali channel?
No. It lists separate services within its own offering, including several NTV identities and other Nepali brands. Each channel retains its own program role and viewing conditions.
