The Telugu channel will be called Khushi TV, while the Kannada channel will be called Chotu TV. The Malayalam channel has been named Kochu TV.
Speaking about the channels, Chutti TV channel head Kavitha Jubin says, "In two month‘s time, all these channels will be on air."
With local as well as international content, all the three channels will target 2-14 year olds.
