Broadcast Initiatives
As of now (February 2006), Goa does not have any independent television stations, apart from the state-funded Doordarshan broadcasting network, which puts out programmes in local languages (Konkani, Marathi) for a small duration.
But there are TV-news operations, which cover local events including political developments and reach viewers through the local cable network. Such operations include the RDXGOA, In Goa News Goa Newsline, Goa Plus, Goa365, among others. The earlier BJP government had officially acknowledged that it was subsidising the operations of some networks, and argued that this was needed to promote programming in the local language.
