12. ANALYZE DOORADRSHAN’S STRATEGY SWOT ANALYSIS:- Growth stage:- strengths:- DD; at that time ruled at the monopoly market. They had done Geographic & Demographic segmentation perfectly at that time. Due to regular satellite channel DD earned 100% profit.

13. WEAKNESS:- Programmes were lacking of innovative presentation. It telecasted only social programmes. OPPORTUNITIES:- In 1984, DD added second (DD2) to provide an alternative option to the urban people. DD had three-tier programme services-National, Regional & Local. THREATS:- RADIO the main substitutes presented at that time. High price rate of the Television.

14. MATURITY STAGE STRENGTH:- It is one of the largest broadcasting organisations in the world in terms of the infrastructure of studios and transmitters. More than 1000 transmitters. WEAKNESS:- Faced a number of allegation & large scale scams & irregulataries. Low credibility with certain sections of society. Rigid pricing strategy. Low TVRs rate. Quality of program’s is not as good as compared to C & S network.

15. OPPORTUNITIES:- In 1995 DD launched DD-India, the international channel to reach NRI population. DD entered into an agreement with CNN & launched 24-hours News channel(DD-News). In 1999 DD launched separate Sports channel DD-Sports. THREATS:- Due to quality of program the reach of C & S network is continuously expanding. As the C& S network need the trained staff, some employees of DD may switchover and take new jobs. Political Interference & Machinery propaganda of Government.

16. DECLINE STAGE STRENGTH:- FMCG companies stuck with DD because of its terrestrial network to each the rural & semi-urban audience. Covering 90% of population across 70 million homes against only 30 million homes by C & S. Government made a committee & gave some solving options. WEAKNESS:- 90% saturated in the Indian market, no visibility elsewhere. Charging high price for advertisement e.g. 1 lakhs for 10 sec. OPPORTUNITIES:- To improve the quality of broadcast DD sought the help of BBC to digitize its channels. Modi Entertainment Network begun distributing the five DD channels via satellite. DD went in for a revenue sharing deal with B4U.

17. THREATS:- As the C& S network needed the trained staff, some employees of DD may switchover and take new jobs. Best of the market-technology is being used by the private channels. All private channels focused on the Innovative Commercial media.

18. RECOMMENDATINS Strategically DD needs to undergo a policy overhaul. DD, out of three options, namely privatization, public service broadcaster or a middle path, can choose the third one, i.e. a combination of both. The whole privatization is not possible under the diversified political scenario. Nor it would be desirable to hand over the broadcasting emotively in the private hand as it proves to be a great means of communication of many socially oriented public programmers. The government could also think in term of creating a corporation (as it did by creating Prasar Bharti) and provide reasonable autonomy to DD. As far as its advertisement tariff is concerned that can be made fairly competitive. However, at the same time cost of advertising is to be compared with the reach enjoyed by Doordarshan. The number of viewers may be far more to justify higher tariffs.

19. OUR VIEWS

20. CONCLUSION DD has the potential the inform, educate & entertain people. Government should look for improvement of DD. Presently DD touches the lines of success through providing innovative programmes.
