PRASAR BHARTI-BCCI 
Prasar Bharati objects to BCCI's decision on FM radio
rights 
NEW DELHI, DEC 12 (PTI)
BCCI's plans to sell telecast rights to private FM
radio operators could create a row with Prasar
Bharati, as the public broadcaster today objected to
the proposal, saying the FM radio channels were not
permitted to air any commentary as per their licence
condition.

In a letter to BCCI president Sharad Pawar, Prasar
Bharati CEO K S Sarma said, "... It may be pertinent
to inform you that no private FM channel in the
country, as per their licence condition issued by the
Government, is permitted to do any commentary on their
radio stations.

"This is for your information so that you put the
radio rights for overseas only as part of your tender
and continue to give All India Radio the right to
broadcast commentary free-of-charge as already
announced recently." After a meeting of the marketing
committee of its new office-beareres, the BCCI had
said that it would be selling rights separately on
various platforms like DTH, FM radio, satellite TV
while giving the terrestrial telecast rights to
Doordarshan as per the government's new uplinking and
downlinking guidelines.

Sarma welcomed the Board's move to allot terrestrial
rights to Doordarshan. "We have been wanting this to
happen for quite some time. We in Prasar Bharati are
extremely grateful to you for this decision to
unbundle the terrestrial rights just as you unbundled
internet, mobile telephony and SMS rights," Sarma
said.
