[2] Nethra TV's unit is also responsible for the production of Rupavahini's Muslim programming.
In January 2008, using Channel Eye's frequencies, Nethra TV started operating on a timeshare basis, between 6:30 am and 9 pm.
The 7 pm Tamil Rupavahini News bulletin, which was already on Channel Eye, was now under Nethra TV's schedule.

Others suggested that the standalone version of the channel helped rekindle interest in Tamil culture.
