[icernet] Doordarshan to introduce DTH telecast in North-East

[Arul Selvan]

Doordarshan is planning to introduce direct-to-home telecast of its
programmes in the North-East while strengthening its marketing network to
earn higher advertisement revenues commensurate with its nationwide reach.
The national broadcaster would introduce DTH telecast through KU band in
eight states, including Sikkim, in the region, the Doordarshan
director-general S Y Quraishi told reporters here. For other regions, he
said, two private channels - Star and Zee - have applied for DTH and the
proposals are before the Union cabinet.
