While it is very well for private radio/TV stations to make money to survive, DD and AIR are subsidised by the tax-payer, therefore in principle should be not-for-profit organisations. If DD and AIR are required to make money, the first thing to do would be to privatise them. The Govt is is not voted to make money. Something wrong here, or am I wrong? Cheers, Gabriel de Figueiredo.
