Doordarshan plans to revamp its network in 2019

NEW DELHI: Earlier this month, DD India, the English news channel owned by public service broadcaster Prasar Bharati, beat Arnab Goswami’s Republic TV to become the top rated television channel in the category. It was the first topple for Republic TV since its inception in May 2017.

Data from television monitoring agency Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) shows DD India posted 1.5 million impressions in the Republic Day week, largely on account of the celebrations, twice the number of the previous week.
