Kalurghat Betar resumes operation By BSS, Dhaka Mon, 18 Jun 2007, 12:58:00
The Kalurghat radio station of Bangladesh Betar in Chittagong, which was affected by excessive rainfall, resumed its operation at 12 noon yesterday after remaining closed for one week. Transmission of the 100-kilowatt medium wave transmitter had stopped as water stood in the station compound after the heavy downpour of June 11, said a press release of Bangladesh Betar. However, in the last one week, programmes of the FM band continued to be aired from Agrabad Bhaban that could be listened to only by the audience in Chittagong city and adjoining areas. During the week, Cox's Bazar and Barisal stations of Bangladesh Betar expanded their sessions from 6am to 10am and 6.50pm to 11.10 pm everyday and broadcast the Dhaka station's programme for the audiences of greater Chittagong, especially for those who live at costal region and deep sea area. A three-member experts' team of Bangladesh Betar, led by additional chief engineer of Dhaka station, reached Kalurghat radio station from the capital soon after the incident on June 11 to assist the concerned engineers in resuming the operation of the transmitter. The team was able to make the transmitter fully operational this noon after working round the clock for the last one week. The Bangladesh Betar authorities have expressed regret to their audience in greater Chittagong, particularly those in the coastal areas, for the inconvenience caused to them during the last seven days, said the press release. http://nation.ittefaq.com/artman/publish/article_36907.shtml -------------------------------------------------- Alokesh Gupta New Delhi. ---[Start Commercial]--------------------- Preorder your WRTH 2007: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2007 ---[End Commercial]----------------------- ________________________________________ Hard-Core-DX mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
