It's aiming for the sun. And that too in the tough Rs 1,100-1,200 crore Tamil general entertainment channel market which is dominated by the Kalanithi Maran-run Sun TV. The Rs 100 crore Chennai-based The New Generation Media Corp that runs the successful Tamil magazine and TV news channel both bearing the same name - Puthiya Thalaimurai - is now gearing up to storm the Sun Network bastion.

Doordarshan's strength of 24-hour regional language channels has gone up to fifteen with the soft launch of channels in Patna, Bhopal, Jaipur and Lucknow.

Doordarshan director general Tripurari Sharan, confirming the soft launch, said these channels may be formally launched later after trial runs.
