| ==Early history==
| |
| Doordarshan Kendra Jalandhar was inaugurated on 13 April 1979, after it was shifted here from [[Amritsar]], where it was first established on 23 September 1973.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://jalandhar.nic.in/html/press_and_electronic_electronic_media.htm |title=Electronic media: Doordarshan Kendra |publisher=[[Jalandhar]] Official website |accessdate=24 August 2012 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120514043030/http://jalandhar.nic.in/html/press_and_electronic_electronic_media.htm |archivedate=14 May 2012 }}</ref> Its establishment here instead of Amritsar was made possible by the efforts of then Union [[Minister of Information and Broadcasting|I & B Minister]], [[I. K. Gujral]].<ref>{{cite news |title=BJP may not go with Akalis on gifting Jalandhar to Gujral |url=http://www.indianexpress.com/Storyold/14619/ |newspaper=The Indian Express |date= 6 December 1997 |accessdate=23 August 2012}}</ref> The station is located at Gujral Nagar, the center has elaborate programme production facilities and large studios.

| | |
| The transmission was initially limited to few hours in a day. Besides the regional language Punjabi, some programmes in Hindi and Urdu were also telecast. Even programmes in Haryanvi and Himachali languages were telecast from this Kendra as these states did not at that time have their own Kendras.
| |
| | |
| With the introduction of Regional Language Satellite Services, all regional centers of Doordarshan started generating programmes in their respective regional languages. And thus, DD Punjabi came into existence along with many other channels of Doordarshan. A [[satellite earth station]] built at the cost of {{INRConvert|82.5|m}}, was inaugurated at the station on 7 August 1998, to allow Punjabi language programs broadcast from the station, available to neighboring countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Oman, Qatar and Nepal.<ref>{{cite news |title=Satellite earth station at Jalandhar DD inaugurated|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/Storyold/45706/ |newspaper= [[The Indian Express]]|date= 7 August 1998 |accessdate=23 August 2012}}</ref>
