, where it showed its programmes only in the given three-hour span on DD Metro Channel. But when the programmes started becoming popular in the primetime slot, DD Metro tried to set up some realistic terms with Nine Gold, which created disagreement between the companies and led up the channel's closing. Metro Gold's programming was targeted at family audiences, and covered genres including drama, comedy, horror, and live events. Among its most successful programmes are ''Maan, Kabhi Sautan Kabhi Saheli, Dushman, Mamla Gadbad Hai'', ''Saamne Wali Khidki'', ''Tede Medhe Sapnay'', and ''Chonch Ladi Re Chonch''.

and sold off all of their shows to the channel. STAR Plus bought Nine Gold's entire library of programmes after signing the deal, and all of the programmes were re-aired on STAR Plus from the beginning. Besides, all of Metro Gold's programmes now belong to (are claimed by) STAR Plus and known as theirs rather than DD Metro's, though they were aired on DD Metro channel. The reason was that HFCL – Nine Gold paid DD Metro 1.21 million rupees for the three hours of air-time on DD Metro and they had full claim and the right to sell their programmes to anyone, and when they signed a deal with STAR Plus, DD Metro had no say in it.{{cite news, url=http://www.indiantelevision.com/headlines/y2k1/feb/feb9.htm, title=As DD Metro improves presence, HFCL Nine seeks 10-year deal, publisher=Indian Television Dot Com
