Prasar Bharati to outsource devotional music show
MUMBAI: The public broadcaster, it would seem, has also realised the potential of shows based on spirituality. Prasar Bharati has invited proposals from experienced producers for a daily devotional music programme titled Aradhana to be telecast on DD National.
The tender notice, released in leading dailies today, specifies that the programme will include devotional music from major religions and faiths in Hindi. It will also include festival and anniversary specials. Film songs or songs based on film tunes are a strict no-no, however.
The notice mentions that the proposals should contain format, broad outline of the treatment, script of the first four programmes, and full particulars of director, scriptwriter, and director of photography.
The proposals have to reach Doordarshan headquarters before 3.00 pm on 16 December 2002. Guidelines are available on DD website www.ddindia.net.

CNBC India unveils new logo, rolls out refreshed identity across network
Debuted at IBLA, the redesign signals a sharper, digital-first future
MUMBAI: CNBC has unveiled a refreshed brand identity across its India network, introducing a new logo and visual system that reflects a more modern, digital-first direction.
The rebrand was officially revealed at the India Business Leader Awards held in Mumbai on March 14, marking the first public showcase of the updated design at one of the network’s most prominent platforms.
The overhaul is among the most visible brand updates for CNBC in recent years, aimed at aligning its look and feel with evolving audience habits and a growing multi-platform presence.
At the centre of the refresh is a redesigned logo that moves away from the network’s long-standing multi-coloured peacock motif, opting instead for a cleaner and more minimalist aesthetic. A key visual cue is a blue upward-pointing arrow embedded within the letter ‘N’, symbolising forward momentum, growth and a focus on the future.
The new identity is being rolled out across the entire CNBC cluster in India, including CNBC-TV18, CNBC-TV18 Prime, CNBCTV18.com, CNBC Awaaz and CNBC Bajar. The move brings a more cohesive and contemporary design language across television and digital platforms alike.
The rollout began on March 30, with the network aiming to create a unified viewer experience regardless of how audiences access its content, be it on broadcast, online or connected devices.
With this refresh, CNBC is signalling its next phase of growth in India, blending legacy credibility with a sharper, forward-looking identity designed for an increasingly digital news ecosystem.
