Do State run Channels always take a hit

We used to watch DD during 90~93 for same stuff. English movie and an english weekend round-up produced by NDTV on Friday night. I dont remember the name but it was good. After that (94 onwards) we switched to STN/NTM for english movies and sitcoms. They were good :k:

During late 80s PTV used to show best english series (airwolf, Mcgyver, 6 million dollar man) but later on they were just okey.
