The DD kids channel will broadcast cartoons and programmes that seek inspiration from Indian culture, history and heroes. It is understood that the issue of starting a kids channel came to the fore during the research for finalising dd direct dth channel bouquet.
DG Doordarshan Supriya Sahu stated that the channel would plug the gap for kids slot in the dd direct dth bouquet. As most of cartoons are foreign dubbed serials they do not show the true Indian culture and hence the need for such a channel.
There was demand from several quarters for a kids channel that could serve to the needs of the children based on Indian perspective. According to a report titled "The Effects of Cartoon Characters as Motivators of Preschool Disadvantaged Children," cartoon characters stimulate interpersonal behavior, learning and social growth. Children associate with cartoon characters more readily than adults in many cases and tend to retain the lessons imparted more readily.

The Supreme Court has said that shared feed of sporting events can only be carried on the terrestrial network of Doordarshan or dd direct dth.

The judgement would help private broadcasters like Star India from possible losses in subscription and advertising revenues due to sharing of signals with Prasar Bharati which were eventually carried by private DTH and cable operators. Immediately after the judgment became known, DD and PB officials went into a huddle to study the ramifications. A DD official declined to comment.
DD can't share sports feed with private dth or cable:SC

In a significant judgment, a division bench headed by Justice Ranjan Gogoi said that, though the Sports Broadcasting Signals (Mandatory Sharing with Prasar Bharati) Act, 2007, allows the feed of a sporting event of national importance to be shared mandatorily with Prasar Bharati, the public broadcaster cannot utilise it on a notified channel which has to be compulsorily carried by private distribution platforms.
While the judgement enables Prasar Bharati to expropriate the feed, the private sports channels will not be competing against Prasar Bharati on a commercial basis for the same content.

Following the decision of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) to withdraw TV channel slot auction process from platform DD-dddirectplus, private TV channels are bound to lose huge advertisement revenue. It must be mentioned here that most of the big private TV channels have become FTA channels due to the availability of DD-dddirectplus reach at a nominal fee and as a result there was a sudden increase of their TRPs, directly also boosting their ad revenue. In fact few of private TV channels which are still a pay channel for private DTH platforms and cable operators have become FTA for DD-dddirectplus.

The last e-auction took place in July, in which DD-dddirectplus had earned Rs. 85.10 crore and awarded slots to 11 private broadcasters. Another auction scheduled for August was cancelled by the broadcaster, citing “administrative reasons” as per the notice dated 18.8.2017 (see letter).
