In this episode of the Perspective Prog. Based on ‘News on Private FM Radio’. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has sought views on various issues, including whether private FM radio stations should be permitted to broadcast independent news bulletins. Currently private FM radio operators are allowed to carry the news bulletins of All India Radio in exactly the same format without any alterations. No other news and current affairs programmes are permitted but this restriction does not apply on information related to traffic, weather, sporting events, cultural events, career counselling and public announcements related to civic amenities. Industry bodies and players have made representations that FM radio stations must be allowed to broadcast news and current affairs just as it is allowed on private TV channels and digital platforms, among others. In the USA, UK, Canada and Australia there is no bar on broadcasting news on Radio with a condition that they have to follow certain guidelines.
