NEW DELHI: There is no proposal at present to permit community radio
stations to broadcast news, even as the government has decided to permit
FM radio stations in Phase III to carry All India Radio on ‘as is where
is’ basis.
Information and Broadcasting Ministry sources said that community radio
stations are required to preserve all programmes broadcast by the CRS
for three months from the date of broadcast, for purposes of monitoring.
Nothing should be included in the programmes that may amount to attack
on religions or result in promoting communal disharmony.
Any violations of the Programme or Advertising Codes can suo moto be
placed by the Ministry before the Inter-Ministerial Committee.
