AIR Chennai FM Gold broadcasts

M.G. Swaminathan | 15-Nov-2012Reply | Forward

It is highly disappointing that the Karnatak music slots of AIR Chennai FM Gold channel have either been discontinued or reduced in number. Chennai Station can boast of a large number of artistes of high calibre and depriving the countless afficionados of good music is in the interest of neither the artistes nor the art itself. It is, therefore, earnestly prayed that the AIR top management should restore immediately the cancelled slots of Karnatak Music broadcasts from AIR Chennai FM Gold channel.AIR will be ill advised to go the way of other FM channels of private parties which offer mostly film songs. AIR 's FM channels should continue to have their own identity in patronising classical music in a big way.
