[sakthi vel <ardicdxclub@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Union Government does not propose to allow private
FM radio stations to broadcast news or current affairs
at present, Union Minister for Information and
Broadcasting P.R. Dasmunsi has said.

In a written reply to senior Congress leader Shantaram
Naik in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, Mr. Dasmunsi,
however, stated that 10 AIR FM Rainbow channels and
four AIR FM Gold channels broadcast news bulletins and
news updates produced by the news services division
and regional news units of AIR. 

The Minister said that a Doordarshan studio would be
commissioned in Panaji by October 2008, the
construction of which was expected to be completed by
December 2007.
