News TV Channel / Doordarshan News, usually referred to by its abbreviation as DD News, is India’s only 24-hour terrestrial TV news channel. The Prasar Bharati board approved the proposal to start a 24-hour news channel in place of DD Metro, which was closing. This was subsequently approved by the Union Cabinet in an 3 October 2003 meeting. DD Metro was converted into a 24-hour TV news channel, into DD News, which launched on 3 November 2003. Its terrestrial reach is 21.6% by area and 44.9% by population of India. The DD News mobile app for Android and Apple was launched on 7 May 2015 by then Minister of Information and Broadcasting of India Shri Arun Jaitley. The app aims to instantly communicate news on a 24×7 basis.
