Well everyone in 90s has a favourite channel on tv which was doordarshan because its was the only channel available those days.
The moment cable was introduced to indian television doordarshan became history.Now a days I dont think anyone considers to watch this cahnnel.
I think goverment has also lost their interest in suppprting this channel because their is a lot of competition available in broadcast media.
The daily soaps which they telecast are just pathetic and copied content.From big private daily soaps channels like stare pus, zee tv, colors etc.
