Hello Ramakrishnan,
I agree that 2013 could very well be a tough year for the 125 or so
community radios in India, as stated in the article below.
http://www.radioandmusic.com/content/editorial/news/2013-be-a-tough-year-community-radio-stations
However, if the radios focus on improving their ability to solve some of
their own problems then 2013 could actually be a very positive year for
Indian community broadcasters.
To assist this outcome Audience Dialogue could provide a copy of its
unique resource book Participative Marketing for Local Radio to each of
these 125 radios and cooperate with others to support each station
developing effective strategies and practical actions in audience
development, marketing and sustainability (all critical success factors
and key areas of weakness).
In this way, for a very low cost, all stations could increase their
audience, generate adequate income and earn the respect of their
communities by the end of the year. Something to think about.
Cheers, John Goslino

One of Transoms most popular features ever is TOOLS Editor Jeff Townes
primer on setting up a small recording studio, but the page hasnt had an
update in six years. So, Jeff has created a completely new version,
covering computer and software selection, the requisite hardware, along
with equipment recommendations in various price ranges and pretty much
everything you need on this topic, all in one place. There are links to
individual tests of gear, manufacturers sites, downloads, etc. etc. (One
interesting new thing: ProTools is becoming dislodged as the go-to choice
for documentary production.) This is the kind of useful, generous advice
that makes us all love Jeff Towne.

Not very sure, Ram. It lists one station which got a license (Voice of
Xavier's) in Goa, but which almost never broadcasted (apart from tests).
Not sure if this is a list of stations licensed, run or what. FN

2013 to be a tough year for Community Radio
stations<http://www.radioandmusic.com/content/editorial/news/2013-be-a-tough-year-community-radio-stations>
Chandni Mathur | Radioandmusic.com | 8 Jan 13
MUMBAI: Serving the special interests of different communities on an
indirect platform, community radio (CR) stations play a very important role
in India.Though the government has been working towards the progress of CR,
the failure in implementing several decisions has led to a major loss.
With around 125 CRs currently operational in the country, the government
had formulated many decisions last year to help fund them as most of the
stations are non-profitable and earning revenues is one of the major issues
restricting their survival. The government had announced a fund of Rs 50
lakhs and also approved to provide advertisements from DAVP to the stations
for a period of one year; but broadcasters say that these decisions are yet
to be implemented and the money has not reached them yet.
Speaking with Radioandmusic.com, Jaago Mumbai station head creative &
programming Nitin Makasare said, “The year was pretty neutral for most
community radio stations. Though some relief was provided by the government
through the CR fund and the DAVP ads, the money for both has not been
released yet so its been of no use to us. We even went to Delhi, met the
government officials and worked on the requirements, but it is yet to be
processed by the government.”
Inspite of a hand-to-mouth existence, Jaago Mumbai has managed to fare
pretty well in 2012. The channel gained with its visibility increasing and
even on-ground activations helping in engaging more listeners. Also with
most mainstream brands and companies looking now to associate with the
stations for campaigns and initiatives, the content and reach of the
station is substantially growing.
“The station is developing and growing slowly. Some help has come from the
government since we are non-commercial functioning platforms, but we still
need more help from them and unlike in other countries, it is very much
lacking in India. If you have funds its easier to manage, but otherwise we
are all surviving through a hand to mouth existence,” he commented.
Some of the major challenges still haunting the space include power and
finances, apart from the government’s laidback attitude. While the
commercial radio stations have high power transmitters (10kw and above),
community radio transmitters are very low power transmitters (100watt of
effective radiated power) which results in a marketing problem for most CR.
Being very constrained in finances, the stations also face a manpower
problem being able to afford only 5-7 members in the internal team.
Community radio broadcasters state that while in 2012 they faced a
financial crunch, 2013 is set to be another tough year with no funds coming
in.
Echoing the grievances, Maksare highlighted, “The issue of finance and
transmission still remains. We rarely managed to sustain ourselves last
year and this year will be another tough one for us. Things need to change
quickly and the government should help us. Right now, we are only trying to
take care of our finances to survive the first quarter and only after that
will we be able to come up with new strategies to sustain ourselves for the
rest of the year.”
