Prasar Bharati is in favour of upgrading some of Doordarshan's local terrestrial part time channels in the Hindi belt into round-the-clock cable and satellite channels.
These include Chandigarh, Dehradun, Shimla, Ranchi, Hussar, Raipur, and Jammu regional channels.
Currently, many of these channels operate for only 4 hours a day, on the local terrestrial transmitter, when DD National goes off the National Network.
Prasar Bharati CEO Jawahar Sircar told the Prasar Bharati Board that an optimisation committee would study the various aspects related to carrying out of this transition.
