Sangat TV, a Birmingham-based satellite TV channel, was handed the penalty by Ofcom after screening a programme that was found to have “seriously” breached the regulator’s code, which must be followed by independent broadcasters.

Sangat TV will be holding a trustees meeting at the end of this month to discuss further to better its financial position. Sangat TV became a household name last year when the channel went on the streets of Birmingham to cover the August riots.

For 312 years, Singh has been the surname almost universally adopted by baptised male Sikhs. It means “lion” and judging by last night’s events it’s no exaggeration.

Armed with just a camera and microphone Sangat TV reporter Upinder Randhawa has become a well-known face during coverage of the riots and disorder in Birmingham this week...."It's very emotional and ridiculous what I'm seeing."

It has hunted down rioters in Birmingham, confronted police during running battles, and broadcast live footage of arrests on Sky TV. But it is this bizarre form of guerilla journalism that has proved the most captivating coverage of the riots that have swept England.

Starting this December, on Thursdays at 8PM, Sangat Television in the UK and Europe will be showing the SikhNet Youth Film Festival (Sky 847)
