With the recent change in PTV top management, now PTV Sports is being re directed more towards taking it to the door steps of common people, and to look like a national channel and not sticking to it's original pedigree. This is in itself recognition of how important the local viewers remain to the state broadcaster. The changing trends, more vibrant programming and based on virtual reality are now in the offing.
