DD News is an Indian state-owned news television channel founded by the Government of India, owned by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. It is the flagship channel of Doordarshan. India's only 24-hour terrestrial TV news channel broadcasting solely in Hindi, and formerly in English. The Prasar Bharati Board approved the proposal to start a 24-hour news channel in place of DD Metro, which was closing. This was subsequently approved by the Union Cabinet in a meeting held on 3 October 2003.
DD Metro was converted into a 24-hour TV news channel, into DD News, which launched on 3 November 2003. Its terrestrial reach is 21.6% by area and 44.9% by population of India.
In 2019, international sister channel DD India become exclusive channel for English News and Current Affairs from Doordarshan.[1] After that parent body Prasar Bharati's CEO claimed that DD News will be "100% Hindi soon",[2] but is yet to be implemented because of availability of content to be aired. Special feature of the channel includes a Sanskrit news show called Vaarta.
The DD News mobile app for Android[3] and Apple[4] was launched on 7 May 2015 by the then Minister of Information and Broadcasting Arun Jaitley. The app aims to instantly communicate news on a 24x7 basis.[5][6]
