The second phase of FM privatization in India has begun with the installation of three Broadcast Electronics (BE) transmission systems.
BE representative Technomedia Solutions of India installed BE FM 10S turnkey transmission systems on Radio Mirchi 105 FM (Jaipur), Radio Mirchi 93.3 FM (Bangalore) and Radio Mirchi 95 FM (Hyderabad) in April, ushering in the countrys second round of radio privatization. The stations are owned by Indias largest private FM operator Entertainment Network India Limited (ENIL), which now operates 10 radio channels in several markets under the brand name Radio Mirchi. With these recent installations, ENIL became the first to begin operation of the 250 new FMs private-licensed in 90 India markets in recent months. Were honored to be a part of this team effort at such a critical time in broadcast history as private FM expands into new markets in India, said Chuck Kelly, Broadcast Electronics Director, International Sales. India FM radio began the first phase of privatization in 1999, when governing authorities there opened up 108 frequencies for private operation in 40 cities. ENIL is a good example of competitive radio in India. Theyve been able to respond quickly to market demands with a popular brand and services, said P.S. Sundaram, Managing Director for Technomedia Solutions. Broadcast Electronics offers turnkey transmitter packages for analog FM and medium-wave as well as for HD Radio at a variety of power levels, representing 45 years of radio innovation as the largest radio-only broadcast equipment manufacturer of studio and transmitter products in the United States. BE supplies its products as standalone units to existing systems or as part of a total system package along with other third-party products for unmatched system reliability and future-proof flexibility.
