DD Saptagiri previously known as DD-8 (Telugu: దూరదర్శన్ సప్తగిరి) is a state-owned television channel telecasting in the Telugu language from a studio at Doordarshan Kendra Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, India. The studio was inaugurated by then-Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Shri N. Chandrababu Naidu, on 27 September 2014.
In addition to terrestrial over-the-air transmission, the DD Vijayawada studio programmes are beamed through direct-broadcast satellite (DTH) and cable networks.[1] Doordarshan Kendra Vijayawada's Regional Network in Telugu took on a new identity as "DD Saptagiri", on 27 September 2014. This service is viewed in India and some other parts of the world. The channel is named after the seven hills surrounding the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple in Tirupati in the south of the state (where 'Sapta' in Sanskrit means seven and 'Giri' means mountain or hill).[2][3][4]
Popularity
Doordarshan Vijayawada was the only television channel broadcast from Andhra Pradesh after bifurcation of the state. Its programmes are aimed mainly at 13 districts of Andhra Pradesh. Since the '90s, DD Vijayawada has been a small studio facility through which programmes based on coastal Andhra are produced and used to be aired weekly once through DDK Hyderabad. It was launched by Andhra Pradesh CM Nara Chandhra Babu Naidu and Union Minister of Urban Development Shri Venkaiah Naidu on 27 September 2014. Venkaiah Naidu announced that the All India Radio Bhavan here was named Pingali Venkaiah Bhavan.[5]
