Dear Friends,
To protest WPC's unfair hike of Spectrum Fees to 91000
per year, Gurgaon Ki Awaaz Samudayik Radio Station invites all CR
stations to shut broadcast for one day as a mark of protest against this
attempt to kill community media.
At our station, the plan is to go Live on morning of May 9, explain
the reasons why we are shutting broadcast, connect
through telephony broadcasters from Uttarakhand, Bundelkhand,
Ahmedabad,
Kanpur, Karnataka etc to talk about what the spectrum fee
hike means for their community, and how they are also
shutting broadcast, then we announce the CR Cell number where
listeners can register their protest against the hike (why
not!!), and then perhaps play Iqbal Bano's powerful protest song
"Hum dekhenge"
and sign off.
It would really be a wonderful
expression of solidarity -- if your station intends to shut down, then
please do inform local media too, to write about it. And do write into
the CR-India mailing list to let everyone know what you plan to do on that day.
Regards
Arti
