Doordarshan has a three tier programme service – National, Regional and Local.  The emphasis in the National programmes is on events and issues of interest to the entire nation.  These programmes include news and current affairs, magazine programmes and documentaries on science, art and culture, environment, social issues, serials, music, dance, drama and feature films.   The regional programmes are beamed on DD National at specific times and also on the Regional Language Satellite Channels, catering to the interests of a particular state, in the language and idiom of that region.  The local programmes are area specific and cover local issues featuring local people.
