The only Station heard in Colombo on 98 MHz is Suriyan FM in Tamil. Jose
the FM band is so full with Private stations that it will be hard to hear
anything from the LTTE Radio. I think the station will be located inland
while studios will be in Jaffna.

LTTE's upgraded radio to start today
Jaffna, Jan. 15: Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger rebels will upgrade their radio
broadcasts, reaching a wider area with more programmes, to educate Tamils
about ongoing peace talks, officials said on Wednesday.
The Voice of Tigers will expand its services using a newly opened
broadcast station in Jaffna, home to Tamil minority. The radio can be
heard on FM at 98 megahertz starting on Thursday.
The station uses new equipment which the rebels were allowed to import as
part of the government's peace efforts aimed at ending the civil war.
It was not immediately clear if the new services will reach Tamil Nadu.
Residents in Colombo could hear the programmes during a trial run that
started last week.
The decision to allow the import of the new radio equipment has been
criticised by Lankan media, but the rebels' political leader, S P
Thamilselvan, said the new services would help keep the Tamil people
informed about the peace process.
