Breaking Classic shows re-telecasting on DD National and DD Bharti to entertain lockdown people during COVID-19 outbreak in India

Who said that?

Read the tweet.

A dedicated team of DD officers worked through the day yesterday and through the night to make this happen even as they stayed away from home and their families. Kudos to the entire team who worked on a war footing in response to immense demand from the viewers to watch the epic.

Timing of the show is odd how can we watch one episode at 9 am and the other at 9 pm. Air it one episode a day with one repeat. Most villagers who will enjoy this show will go to sleep by 7 pm.

It's weird that DD team had to go in war with Ramanand Sagar family to get the rights. If no one had the rights. Wouldn't they be happy to sell the rights at one phone call?

Meanwhile it's confirmed EPIC has the tv rights of Mahabharata. Maybe we can request them to re air the series.

They should air the same episode on both slots, so that people can choose their convenient slot.
Regional DD channels should also telecast the serial at the same time in regional languages.

DD seems to have lost rights of Mahabharat, Jai Hanuman, Chandrakantha, Bharat ek Khoj, Shaktiman, Main Dilli Hoon, Om NamahShivaya etc.
Maybe some one can update who holds what.

My point.

It will not gain viewership as 1990’s days

I disagree. There is huge demand for it. Plus we have more television sets than 90s.

One thing I don't like is it not airing in weekdays. DD should have taken advantage of shows being off air due to COVID-19.
