Lok Sabha 

All India Radio proposes to start two 24-hour
classical music channels on Satellite Radio through
Prasar Bharati?s DD Direct Plus DTH Service. 

Prasar Bharati is a public service broadcaster, as a
part of its mandate, constantly endeavors to project
and promote the cultural heritage of the country
through various programmes of AIR & DD, which include
programmes in Indian Classical and Folk Music. 

Doordarshan continues to feature ?Top? grade and ?A?
Grade Music and Dance artistes in its National
Programme of Dance and Music on its National Network
on Thursday (11.30 p.m.) and Saturday (8.30 p.m.). In
addition, programmes featuring such artistes are also
being telecast regularly by the different regional
channels of Doordarshan. AIR has been regularly
broadcasting suitable programmes at the Regional and
National level reflecting Indian classical, light,
folk music and also other traditional art forms. The
National Programme of Music is broadcast on every
Saturday and Akhil Bharatiya Ravivasariya Sangeet
Sabha is scheduled on every Sunday. These programmes
feature not only eminent and veterans but also
upcoming artistes. Since 1954, AIR has been organizing
Akashvani Sangeet Sammelan at various places of the
country featuring artists of both Hindustani and
Carnatic Music. In addition, AIR has recently
introduced Akashwani Sangeet Sammelan of regional Folk
and Light Music to project, promote and propagate the
rich folk cultural heritage of the country. AIR has
informed that it does not seek sponsorship for its
classical and traditional music programmes. DD has
informed that marketing of these programmes has not
been an issue as far as promotion of Indian Classical
Music and Dance is concerned. 

This Information was given by Minister of Information
& Broadcasting and Parliamentary Affairs, Shri P. R.
Dasmunsi in written reply to a question in Lok Sabha
today.
