The Union Government does not propose to allow private FM radio stations to broadcast news or current affairs at present, Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting P.R. Dasmunsi has said.
In a written reply to senior Congress leader Shantaram Naik in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, Mr. Dasmunsi, however, stated that 10 AIR FM Rainbow channels and four AIR FM Gold channels broadcast news bulletins and news updates produced by the news services division and regional news units of AIR. The Minister said that a Doordarshan studio would be commissioned in Panaji by October 2008, the construction of which was expected to be completed by December 2007. /////////////////// Jaisakthivel, Chennai, India Via http://www.hindu.com/2007/11/23/stories/2007112359230300.htm /////////////////////// For Contact: Jaisakthivel,59,Annai Sathya Nagar, Arumbakkam,Chennai-600106,India Visit: www.dxersguide.blogspot.com www.sarvadesavaanoli.blogspot.com Join: www.groups.yahoo.com/group/sarvadesavanoli Mobile: +91 98413 66086 /////////////////////// Chat on a cool, new interface.
