INTRODUCTION
Doordarshan’s Mumbai channel came on map of Television history on 2nd October 1972. Initially
the telecast was in black & white and the duration was about 2 hours per day. Also, the
transmission went through a small transmitter which catered to the need of few T.V. households.
Going through various stages DDK Mumbai today has become one of the major centres in India.
Today DDK Mumbai manages transmission of two 24 hours channels namely DD1 (National
Network) and Sahyadri (RLSS). DDK Mumbai runs the regional language satellite channel
‘Sahyadri’ with round the clock transmission on satellite mode and with terrestrial support on
National Network from 06.00 am to 09.00 am and 03.00 pm to 08.00 pm. With overall technical
and production development we are in a position to produce more than 70 % of programmes inhouse.
DD Sahyadri’s Mission
 To inform, Educate and Entertain Marathi knowing people in their language, idiom & Culture.
To showcase the Real Maharashtra Culture, its values, traditions, modernization, diversity
and its unity through programmes of high quality in the highest tradition of Public Service
Broadcasting with true Indian National Spirit.
DD Sahyadri is the only Public Service Broadcaster among all Marathi TV Channels available in
Maharashtra. The channel keeps its mandate to telecast programmes useful to people in their dayto-day life as well as for their overall development. The Channel devotes more than 46 % of its
time to telecast informative, educative and other Public Service Programmes.
DD-Sahyadri : The essence of Maharashtra.
Doordarshan’s Marathi Regional Programme Channel was born on the 9th August 1986 with a
Terrestrial Transmitter at Mumbai.
DD Sahyadri is the Marathi language Satellite Channel, which was launched on 15th August, 1994.
It became a round the clock service in 2000. Supported by Doordarshan Studios in Mumbai, Pune
and Nagpur, DD Sahyadri is a household name in Maharashtra, largely because of its programmes
with high production values. Despite stiff competition from private satellite channels, DD
Sahyadri holds its own platform with acclaimed serials, informative programmes, public debates
and film based programmes. DD Sahyadri also felicitates eminent citizens and personalities of
Maharashtra for their contribution in different fields, by honoring them with different Sahyadri
Awards i.e. Navratna Awards, Marathi Cine Awards, Navjyoti Awards, Krishiratna Awards, Hirkani
Awards, Sindhu Awards and Prerna Awards.
DD Sahyadri is uplinked from Mumbai through INSAT-3A Satellite in C-Band and can be
watched in the entire footprint area of INSAT-3A. It is also available in DD-Direct Plus
Doordarshan’s free-to-air DTH Service.
