Dear Chhavi, The govt guidelines are explicit on this - NO NEWS on CR stations. News is really a four letter word as far as policy is concerned, so don't even use it. Features are features - not news. Discussions on current events are discussions - not news. So, yes, you can do a lot around current events, as long as you stay clear of the "N" word.
Good luck with your work. Warm regards Arti chhavi sachdev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Arti, I moved to India because the FM station I joined said they were going to be India's NPR station. HAH! Enough said. I am working with two community radio groups in Mumbai and since they are urban, my goal is to make them as NPR like as possible within the confines of the CR guidelines. Also, with news being allowed on radio, my hope is that FM stations will at least be open to more feature style story packages like a few of us (my company Sonologue - www.sonologue.com) are already doing and pushing for out of India.
