India: J&K gets 92 transmitters for DD and 10 for AIR
As part of the Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Special Plan Phase-I approved in 1999,
Doordarshan (DD) has set up 92 transmitter projects in the state. Terrestrial
coverage has become available to 95 per cent population of the state.
All uncovered areas of J&K along with rest of the country (except Andaman &
Nicobar Islands) have been provided with multi channel TV coverage through DD's
free to air DTH service 'DD Direct Plus'.
Under the J&K Special Plan Phase-II approved in September 2007, the J&K
government has been provided with 10,000 direct-to-home (DTH) sets along with
TV sets for the state's uncovered areas.
As part of the J&K Special Plan Phase-I, All India Radio (AIR) have also set up
10 new transmitters and upgraded 2 transmitters in J&K. Similarly under J&K
Special Plan Phase-II, 11 number of DG Sets and 7 number of UPS have been
approved for AIR.
During the current financial year, an amount of Rs 390.9 million has been
allocated to Prasar Bharati for improving television and radio facility in
Jammu and Kashmir (J&K).
Out of the Rs 390.9 million, Rs 300 million will be provided as grants in aid
(GIA) and Rs 90.9 million as loan.
For the financial year 2009-10, Rs 1 billion has been introduced for
improvement of FM & TV coverage in J&K border areas. This includes setting up
of three FM/TV High Power transmitters at hilltops. Additionally, Low Power
Transmitters (LPT) have also been proposed in uncovered regions.

India: Radio stations face small town problems
A little while ago, Airtel launched a massive radio campaign in Uttar Pradesh,
specifically for the western UP market, where the company was facing tough
competition from Idea. The media plan included all kinds of radio stations --
those belonging to the large networks as well as the individual, small players.
Unfortunately, this is one of the very few instances, where a national
advertiser has used the individual or small radio network to promote its
product.
Out of the 245-odd private FM stations in the country, more than 60 per cent
belong to the large networks, such as Radio Mirchi, Big FM and the lot. These
stations garner the lion's share of the advertising revenue that goes to radio.
The preferred ones also include stations that are part of a network and
primarily have a presence in all four metros.
Out of the Rs 880 crore (as per GroupM) of advertising money that goes to
radio, these large networks corner around 80-85 per cent. The other 82-odd
stations are either not part of any large network, or have presence in a
maximum of five or six small towns.
These stations have to largely depend on local advertisers ? this contributes
70 per cent of their revenue.
When the private FM stations entered the 90-odd small towns in India, with each
station airing its unique content, radio emerged as a localized medium..
Drawing out the role and relevance of small and local radio stations, Abhishek
Thakur, manager, marketing, Radio Mantra says, "Local and standalone radio
stations provide a closer and more personalised feel to the audience, because
they are closer to the sentiments of the town/state they are present in."
"Smaller radio stations also enjoy more acceptability in their area of
operation over larger radio networks for their in-depth knowledge and better
understanding of the area's language, customs, likes and dislikes."
However, this doesn't reflect in the way radio is being bought by national
advertisers. Why do they shy away from these small radio stations?
"Larger networks offer a quick-fix media plan to planners," says Nabhojit
Kuila, director sales, Radio Indigo. However, he admits that big radio networks
provide wider reach, especially when the national advertisers look at a
pan-India campaign.
Looking at various types of advertisers, FMCG and consumer durables, by and
large, prefer larger networks for their reach. Retail, local telecom circles,
vernacular media channels and promotions for local events, at times, prefer
single-city or smaller network stations.
Media planners obviously do not agree with Kuila's point of view. Satyajit Sen,
managing director, North and East, ZenithOptimedia, says, "The decision to go
along with a single, large radio network is not based on convenience alone.
It's the overall rate benefits that one gets on buying a bunch of stations from
one single network."
However, this is not the only issue, for the small radio operators also have to
wage the battle of perception and unfamiliarity with media planners, when it
comes to getting advertisers on board. "A large network has brand credibility,
which the individual stations lack. This makes it tougher for the latter to
convince the advertisers ? who are also metro-based ? on their core
competencies. It is difficult for them to overcome the perception biases and
remove the advertisers' apprehensions," says Harrish M Bhatia, chief operating
officer, My FM.
The other disadvantage for the small-town, standalone stations is that the
media planners do not consume these stations as consumers, which, in a way,
could have changed the perception.
Nishant Mittal, chief executive officer, Radio Misty, hits the nail, when he
points out, "The biggest handicap in selling small radio stations is the
limited geographical awareness on the part of media planners and advertisers.
In our industry, any campaign beyond Kolkata implies moving into the
north-east. And within that, a majority of industry representatives fail to
recognise territories other than Assam."
In the case of smaller radio networks, suggests Mittal, "One has to first sell
the city and then the product."
For those radio stations, which are part of a large media group, the job
becomes easier, as they already share a great rapport with planners and
advertisers. "In fact, when it comes to sales, package deals are the order of
the day, where both print and radio come bundled together," agrees Kamal
Krishnan, head, sales and marketing, Radio Mango.
But for several other radio networks, maintaining independent sales team across
the country is unfeasible.
That's why they either end up outsourcing their sales function, or prefer
forming a consortium with a larger player, which again, is a positive move for
the industry. A case in point is Radio Mantra and Radio Misty, which have sales
alliances with Radio Mirchi and Radio One, respectively.
For larger radio networks, these smaller radio stations prove to be an
economical answer to any local requirement of their clients, which the network
itself is unable to fulfill when it does not have presence in a particular
region or smaller city.
In addition to perception and accessibility biases, smaller radio networks have
to battle the price war too.
As Kuila of Radio Indigo, says, "Larger network stations hold their rates on
key markets such as Mumbai and Delhi, and either give away smaller markets at
very low rates or as free add-ons. On the contrary, smaller networks try to
hold on to their rates, as those few stations are their bread and butter."
This creates tremendous pressure on smaller networks to sustain their rates, as
constant comparisons are made with the rates of the larger network stations.

Subject: [HCDX] Radio Pakistan spreads propaganda about Dalits in
India
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Radio Pakistan spreads propaganda about Dalits in India
Radio Pakistan, in its recent Punjabi Durbar programme, has said Scheduled
Castes (SCs) children are being denied admission in schools in India, but
nothing can be further from the truth.
Shyam Lal Arora, the district president of the Recognised and Affiliated
Schools Association, Punjab termed the report false and malicious propaganda.
"The Dalits are not being discriminated or ill treated here in India. The Dalit
children have been given equal rights and status in every school, college,
office and department. Pakistan is making such statements to create tension in
this country," said Arora.
"In villages also, Dalit children are being given admission without any
discrimination. Pakistan's statement that the Dalit community is being stopped
from taking water from community taps in the country is completely wrong. Here,
people of all religions and Dalits take water from the same tap," Arora added.
Pakistan is trying to create a divide in this country by asserting that
casteism is dominant in India.
Radio Pakistan's propaganda on casteism in India stands exposed by the fact
that since independence, the Indian Government has taken several initiatives to
improve the socio-economic and literacy conditions of the less-privileged in
the country.
For instance, the strategy of the Scheduled Castes Sub-Plan (SCSP), which was
evolved in 1979, is one of the most important interventions through the
planning process for social, economic and educational development of Scheduled
Castes and for improvement in their working and living conditions..
As far as reservation of seats in educational institutes are concerned, the
Central Government has reserved 27 per cent of higher education seats, and
individual states have been given freedom to legislate further reservations.
In 2008, the Supreme Court had upheld the law that provides for 27 per cent
reservation for Other Backward Castes (OBCs) in educational institutions
supported by the Central Government, while ruling that the creamy layer among
the OBCs should be excluded from the quota.
This shows that the caste system as it existed in the past has been formally
abolished.
Radio Pakistan, therefore, needs to study the Indian Constitution before airing
baseless allegations about India. - ANI

Indonesia, 4749.93, RRI Makassar, 1000-1015, Signal
has faded in completely yet, but noted a person in Qu'ran
type reciting. At 1004 a male comments in Indonesian
language. Again at 1008 more Qu'ran reciting Finally,
at 1012 a female opens the broadcast with comments
and music. In the meantime, the signal is fading in from
a poor to a fair. (Chuck Bolland, July 30, 2009)
China, 5030.00, China National Radio One, 1030-1045,
Noted a male and female in Chinese Language comments.
Signal was threshold during the period, but checked
6175 KHz and noted parallel program, so this helped
pull out the signal on 5030 KHz. Was hoping to hear
Malaysia here, but that never happened. China was
fair by 1045. (Chuck Bolland, July 30, 2009)
China, 6175, China National Radio One, 1040-1050
With steady Chinese language comments from a male
and female. Much of this sounds like news with
break aways to other individuals who comment. Signal
here was fair and mixing with a Portuguese language
station which turned out to be WYFR which went
off the air at 1045. Much better, since China is in
the clear now with a good signal. (Chuck Bolland,
July 30, 2009)
China, 6150, China National Radio One, 1047-1055
Thought I'd check this freq to see what China was doing
here? Noted a parallel signal with 6175 KHz here. CNR1
was the dominate station on this freq, but a second station
underneath is heard, which probably is Taiwan? CNR1
is definitely doing its' job if they are here to block Taiwan.
