Mumbai: Sony YAY! is all set to extend its three-pronged approach of entertaining, experiencing, and exploring with its array of offerings this festive season. This Diwali, the channel welcomed its audiences into their Happyverse - a unique world that brings happiness to the audience at every touchpoint.

Sony YAY! further strengthens its leadership position as it promises to entertain its young audiences while satiating their need for variety through content that is wholesome and engaging. The channel expands its breadth of content with the launch of its iconic shows in new avatars.

Sony Pictures Networks India Kids’ Genre business head Leena Lele Dutta said, "Since its inception, we have curated a world for our young audiences that they can call their own. We are very excited to introduce Happyverse - a world filled with endless fun, friendship, and excitement that gives them an opportunity to be their unapologetic selves. It is their undaunting love for Sony YAY! and the characters that keeps us motivated to keep doing something new and exciting consistently." 

Oggy and the Cockroaches: Next Gen has introduced a new character, Piya, whose friendship with Oggy will take audiences on a rib-tickling joyride. Taarak Mehta Kka Chhota Chashmah has returned to the screens with a brand new season of complete family entertainment.

Furthermore, after becoming one of the top five shows in the slot within the first week of its release, Naruto is returning with the ninja's journey ahead. Sony YAY! is set to delight Naruto fans with the opportunity to own Naruto merchandise, which will be available in a variety of apparel, home décor, and consumer electronics.

The channel experiments with new formats with a variety of new shows, including PaJaMa, a homegrown slapstick comedy, and Sergent Keroro, a popular and funny Japanese manga series. The celebration will continue with the release of Magoo, as well as the most popular twin cats, Honey and Bunny, who will take audiences on an endless joy ride.

Through a specially curated on-ground initiative called "Oggy's Tour of India," the channel now extends the experience beyond television and across the length and breadth of the country.
