" &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;If I am correct, this was because there were 2 different parties, one producing &amp; telecasting (for outside India) and the other (Doordarshan) taking the feed from the former and only telecasting for Indian viewers. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Also, Doordarshan's programmers were dogging the ads aired by the producer which they did not want to telecast for Indian viewers. In the bargain Indian viewers lost some crucial. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Doordarshan is not the only one to be blamed.

It possibly served its target viewership well and if the program still exists, it may still be doing so. However, it would be unfair to belittle the wants of its viewers -- urban or rural -- by assuming that they are happy to view commercial breaks during crucial moments of the match.  &lt;BR/&gt;That said, I would have been happy to have seen the matches telecast on Doordarshan, warts, ads and all, considering that I could not see any part of the series here.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11533442/111395937895695333/comments/default/111415222588793437'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11533442/111395937895695333/comments/default/111415222588793437'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://farpavilions.blogspot.com/2005/04/ad-sound-and-vision-free-tv.html?showComment=1114152180000#c111415222588793437' title=''/><author><name>Kumara Raghavan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06697832745795334930</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://farpavilions.blogspot.com/2005/04/ad-sound-and-vision-free-tv.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11533442.post-111395937895695333' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11533442/posts/default/111395937895695333' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11533442.post-111414919709045710</id><published>2005-04-22T15:53:00.000+10:00</published><updated>2005-04-22T15:53:00.000+10:00</updated><title type='text'>If I am right, it was not Doordarshan which was pr...</title><content type='html'>If I am right, it was not Doordarshan which was producing the live pictures of the match. With Doordarshan's limited skill set (because that is what they get for what they pay) they had to do the most. Doordarshan's majority viewers are not really asking for more. It is only the viewers who have tasted the better quality of ESPN-Star or SONY paying a hefty amount, will crib.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;You remember we all watched Krishi darshan and UGC telecast of a unheard of topics when we got home a new B/W TV? I am sure there are at least 88,000 new TV's &lt;BR/&gt;in India every week whose viewers are glued to TVs showing the familiar rainbow colour and waiting for doordarshan's logo to emerge and Krishi darshan to begin.&lt;BR/&gt;Rahul Bhatia may not be all that correct comparing Doordarshan to a professionally managed private sport channel. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;-Srinivas</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11533442/111395937895695333/comments/default/111414919709045710'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11533442/111395937895695333/comments/default/111414919709045710'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://farpavilions.blogspot.com/2005/04/ad-sound-and-vision-free-tv.html?showComment=1114149180000#c111414919709045710' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://farpavilions.blogspot.com/2005/04/ad-sound-and-vision-free-tv.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11533442.post-111395937895695333' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11533442/posts/default/111395937895695333' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
