The shows mentioned were definitely good, but DD as our national channel can certainly do bettervaibhavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08630724551054062311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3128681917704615266.post-90956381875607585192009-10-05T01:44:52.850-07:002009-10-05T01:44:52.850-07:00Hi,

However, I have a different take on the current crop of channels and programs. <br /><br />Nowadays, hundreds of channels competing for your eyeballs, hence it becomes very difficult for the viewer to sift the wheat from the chaff. There are definitely some very good educative and interesting programs, but they are now targeted at the niche audience. Blame should be equally apportioned to the population at large and the channels for degeneration of the quality, as it is us who jack up the TRP for the reality shows and other mundane stuff. <br /><br />Going back to old DD days, we didn't have the choice and so we were forced to consume whatever was aired. <br /><br />I don't think DD has to change its avatar to fight with these channels, even today, I feel there are some good programs being aired in DD. Form (in terms of production value) is average, but the content is good.<br /><br />regards<br />Krishna.<br />Chennai.tifosikrishnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562630480259094804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3128681917704615266.post-62259703539041318962009-10-02T04:43:25.796-07:002009-10-02T04:43:25.796-07:00The private channels were able to glamourise news ...The private channels were able to glamourise news in a way which a public channel like DD cannot do.<br /><br />But, there is no reason why we cant give them sufficient autonomy and control over news, like public channels in U.K.PShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03367215803724375329noreply@blogger.com
