It’s also the first time that international shows will be telecast almost concurrent with their U S broadcast.

The channels will launch in India this month. Aparnaa Pande, business head, Big CBS, says, “The performance of these shows in the highly competitive US market demonstrates the quality and superiority they have in entertainment. Their ratings have re-affirmed our belief in the line-up. The Indian upwardly mobile, English entertainment seeking audiences looks for latest entertainment and we will serve them the freshest shows from the US.”

Hawaii Five-0,

is a comic drama about two Las Vegas defense attorneys who go all-in when it comes to representing their clients. Nick (Jim Belushi) and Pete (Jerry O’Connell) are the local go-to guys with an eclectic client list who are still looking to hit their own jackpot.
