Veteran journalist Sudhir Chaudhary is set to embark on a new chapter in his illustrious career with the launch of his prime-time show, ‘Decode With Sudhir Chaudhary,’ on Doordarshan. The announcement follows Chaudhary’s recent appearance at WAVES 2025, where he hinted at his upcoming project with the national broadcaster.

Chaudhary unveiled the promo for ‘Decode With Sudhir Chaudhary’ on his official X handle, generating considerable buzz among his followers and the media fraternity. The show is scheduled to air at 9 pm, a crucial time slot in Indian television news.

During his address at WAVES 2025, Chaudhary reflected on his extensive experience in Indian journalism and emphasized the significant potential of public broadcasters in the current media landscape. He described his new show as an “experiment” with a concept that is “almost finalized” and slated to go on air soon. While the exact launch date is yet to be revealed, the anticipation surrounding the show is already palpable.

Chaudhary’s decision to join Doordarshan, a platform often perceived as traditional in the age of digital media, has raised eyebrows and sparked discussions about the evolving dynamics of news consumption. However, Chaudhary believes that platforms like Doordarshan and Prasar Bharati possess “enormous” potential and can be instrumental in delivering quality news programming. “News is the most sensitive segment. But platforms like Doordarshan and Prasar Bharati are enormous, and there are many in this country who can create good shows not just in entertainment, but also in news,” he stated at the event.
