SOME VIEWS ABOUT THE CASE
When Doordarshan was launched in the market, they enjoyed the monopoly. They earned almost 100% revenue at that time. In 1982 Doordarshan only presented as a regular satellite channel.
During 1992-1994 the number of cable and satellite channels entered into the media market and they decreased Doordarshan’s revenue growth rate to nearly 24%. After 1994 Doordarshan encountered oligopoly market and faced the heat of competition from the market.
During 1996-1999 Doordarshan revenue growth rate had gone down by 70.17%. After that in 2000 Government appointed a committee to solve all kinds of problem and regenerate the good revenue.
