19. A long lost memory ?
From just one channel, to over 700 channels, the indian T.V industry hascome a
long way with 150 million households having TVs , India is the third largest
market in the world after chinaand the US. During this unprecedented growth ,
Doordarshan has dramatically lost viewership , thanks to the satelliteT.V boom.
Although doordarshan has achieved over 90 per cent reach in the country , it is
not the preferred channelfor people across the country who have a choice of
channels.Doordarshan is most powerful medium of instruction in our society.
Programmes telecasted by nationalbroadcaster are more useful for people .
