The Union Minister Murugan has announced that the government is in discussions with various stakeholders to potentially allow private FM radio channels to broadcast news bulletins. Currently, news bulletins are only available through All India Radio, but this potential change could open up new opportunities for private broadcasters. This move could provide listeners with a wider range of news sources and perspectives, while also potentially boosting the business of private radio channels.
Allowing private FM radio channels to broadcast news bulletins could lead to increased competition in the radio industry, as well as potentially improving the overall quality and variety of news programming available to listeners. It would also create new revenue streams for private broadcasters and potentially attract more listeners to their channels.
