DD''s DTH gets an additional transponder on INSAT 4B

[dkj]

The Prasar Bharati Board has been asked to take an expeditious decision on expanding the number of channels on Doordarshan's direct-to-home (DTH) platform DD Direct Plus to 97, following the decision of the Department of Space to give it an additional transponder of INSAT 4B.

The Space Department had initially declined to give an additional transponder, forcing Prasar Bharati to lower its expansion plan for the country's only free-go-air DTH platform to 75 from the current 59.

Dot gives only NOD for dd direct's expansion plan so it will take another 1 year for this.

It will really take a long time expand even though they got TP.
