History
Sony SAB was launched as SAB TV by the Sri Adhikari Brothers (thus the acronym) on 23 April 2000. At first it was launched as a Hindi-language comedy channel. Sony Pictures Networks took over SAB TV in March 2005[3][4] and rebranded it as Sony SAB, with a new focus on general entertainment[5] and eventually turning itself into a youth channel. In 2008, Sony Sab changed its appeal to being a Hindi-language generalist network.[6]
The high-definition feed of the channel was launched on 5 September 2016.[7]
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is its longest running and one of its flagship shows which has been on air since 2008.[8]
Programming
gollark: So essentially hardware memset.
gollark: > The "Write Pattern" command is new for DDR5; this is identical to a write command, but no data is transmitted. Instead, the range is filled with copies of a 1-byte mode register (which defaults to all-zero). Although this takes the same amount of time as a normal write, not driving the data lines saves energy. Also, writes to multiple banks may be interleaved more closely.
gollark: I think DRAM actually has a command for zeroing regions nowadays.

gollark: I would be surprised if CPUs lacked dedicated zeroing capabilities, actually.
