Doordarshan invites fresh and innovative programme ideas

Doordarshan has been exploring new ways of procuring best quality content for its channels. Towards this, the slot sale policy for DD channels was approved by the PBB Board. Doordarshan had floated Request For Proposal (RFP) in June 2016. However, there was not enough competition for the slots. In view of this, DD has now floated a new RFP document with several flexible eligibility conditions to invite fresh and good quality content on its DD National as a pilot.

Producers/ production houses who have produced at least 200 hours of general entertainment programming, including feature film production in any Indian language in the last three years and with a turnover of minimum Rs 3 crore per annum in the field of TV and film production in the last three financial years are eligible to apply. Applicants for weekend slots in the genres of Reality, Game, and Quiz should have produced 100 hours of such content in the last three years.

Successful bidder(s) will produce fresh programmes in various genres of general entertainment programme for Doordarshan, adhering to the programming/ broadcasting codes of Prasar Bharati.

Last date for submission of qualification bids is August 19, 2016.
