[HCDX] India: AIR not to cut down on number of radio stations

[sakthi vel <ardicdxclub@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Prasar Bharati has no proposal to reduce the number of
All India Radio (AIR) stations. 

The information was given by information and
broadcasting minister Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi in written
reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.  

Prasar Bharati said that the number of AIR stations
will not be reduced by setting up one powerful station
for each State and thereby saving huge expenditure.
Power consumption of a single powerful station is much
more than that required by smaller stations to cover
the populated area.

An All India Radio audience survey stated that there
has been an increasing trend of listenership for the
state-owned stations. From 310 million in 2003-04, the
listenership has increased to 357 million in 2006-07.
According to the survey, listenership in 2004-05 was
340 million.
