DD Saptagiri previously known as DD-8 (Telugu: దూరదర్శన్ సప్తగిరి) is a state-owned television channel telecasting in the Telugu language from a studio at Doordarshan Kendra Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, India. The studio was inaugurated by then-Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Shri N. Chandrababu Naidu, on 27 September 2014.
In addition to terrestrial over-the-air transmission, the DD Vijayawada studio programmes are beamed through direct-broadcast satellite (DTH) and cable networks.[1] Doordarshan Kendra Vijayawada's Regional Network in Telugu took on a new identity as "DD Saptagiri", on 27 September 2014. This service is viewed in India and some other parts of the world. The channel is named after the seven hills surrounding the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple in Tirupati in the south of the state (where 'Sapta' in Sanskrit means seven and 'Giri' means mountain or hill).[2][3][4]
