The Indian television network, Doordarshan has had trouble today keeping their website up. The main issue seems to be a traffic overload to the site, which is located at ddindia.com. The 2010 CWG are starting today, and it seems as though a large portion of India is going online to the Doordarshan website to try and watch the opening ceremony live online.

Doordarshan which is the public television broadcaster of India started broadcasting in 1965 as part of All India Radio. In 1982, they extended their broadcast to a national audience, as color television was introduced to the country of India. Doordarshan currently operates 21 different channels throughout the country. Ratings for the network should be quite large as a large portion of India tunes in to watch the 2010 Commonwealth Games which are being player in Delhi this year.
