It is very true that a very small amount of people watch Doordarshan, let it be any native language telecast. But looking back, DD was the trendsetter for many of the other channels that have over driven DD. One could find many a answers for this point, but I would like to make the government aware of the fact that people have started neglecting government’s bodies and related entities. Let it be anything, public sector companies are now not doing better than before, government channels are not watched by everybody etc. It has become a very famous situation where one tunes to DD when nothing else is avaialble. This has become a stop gapper for audiences.
DD officials should realise the point that no more the generation needs the way of telelcast that DD provides. Probably they could do a survey on the viewers choice the way they would like to see DD. They should still remember a point that every citizen of India still loves DD, but the programmes and the way they are structured makes one feel they still are travelling on the old coal engine train.
Dear DD officials, it is time for you to know that there are super fast rocket trains that are available. So, make sure you compete with the other channels. Retuning the structuring so that we will TUNE to DD.
Cheers!
Panidhar.
