Doordarshan has sought fresh proposals from producers under its 'slot sale policy' which was recently approved by the Prasar Bharati board.
In a statement, Doordarshan said that it had floated a request for proposal (RFP) in June, 2016, but there was not enough competition for the slots.
"In view of this, DD has now floated a new RFP document with several flexible eligibility conditions to invite fresh and good quality content on its DD National as a pilot," it said.
