Doordarshan - A struggling Indian Broadcast

Doordarshan (Hindi: दूरदर्शन; literally Tele-Vision) is the public television broadcaster of India and a division of Prasar Bharati, a public service broadcaster nominated by the Government of India. It is one of the largest broadcasting organizations in the world in terms of the infrastructure of studios and transmitters. Recently, it has also started Digital Terrestrial Transmitters.

Doordarshan had a modest beginning with the experimental telecast starting in Delhi in September 1959 with a small transmitter and a makeshift studio. The regular daily transmission started in 1965 as a part of All India Radio. The television service was extended to Bombay and Amritsar in 1972. Till 1975, seven Indian cities had television service and Doordarshan remained the only television channel in India. Television services were separated from radio in 1976. Each office of All India Radio and Doordarshan were placed under the management of two separate Director Generals in New Delhi. Finally Doordarshan as a National Broadcaster came into existence.

Filmi Chakkar - an old sitcom in India

1. Youtube I'm impressed how much video content you have!
2. Filmi Chakkar was one of the shows I actually grew up with. It was part of my visual culture & daily media consumption. Filmi Chakkar was a serial based on a series of incidents and escapades that occur in a family of filmi buffs. The main inspiration for Prashant (Satish Shah), his wife Rukmani (Ratna Pathak Shah) and their two sons Chintu (Omkar Kapoor) and Bunty (Kavin Dave) are films and films. The only person who hates films is Prakash`s mother Dadi Ma (Shammi) and her reasons are justified. Prakash`s father was a film producer who had to run away because his film flopped and he was in debt. Dadi Ma eagerly awaits the return of her husband. The serial depicts the filmi drama and the filmi dilemma of this filmi family and how they overcome their filmi problems with the help of film clips. Yehi Hai Filmi Chakkar.
3. Lets talk about innovating TV serials in the contemporary Indian Media.
