The Ministry of Information & Broadcasting (MIB) on March 13, 2024, launched Prasar Bharti - Shared Audio Visuals for Broadcast and Dissemination (PB-SHABD).
The following has been stated:
• It has stated that the news organizations will be provided with clean feed and will not have to carry the logo of Doordarshan. This feed will curate content from all corners of the country in various languages. This will revolutionize the news industry and will massively support the smaller news organizations that do not have the benefit of an extensive network for content gathering. PB-SHABD will be a single-point source of news content for all such organizations.
• It has stated that the SHABD service is being offered free of cost for the first year as an introductory offer and will provide news stories in all major Indian languages across fifty categories.
