Asian Magazine
was a weekly news magazine aimed at the Asian community. It replaced
Apna Hi Ghar Samajhiye
which had been on air since 1968. Broadcast on
BBC1
on Sunday mornings at 10am, the programme ran for five years from 20 April 1982
[1]
until 26 April 1987 and the final edition of the programme marked the end of television programming by the BBC in
Hindi
and
Urdu
.

Three months later, a new English language magazine programme,
Network East
, was launched and was broadcast on
BBC2
on Saturday afternoons.

Throughout its time on air, a midweek companion programme
Gharbar
was also broadcast that was aimed at Asian women.
Gharbar
ended two days after the final episode of
Asian Magazine
was transmitted.
