In a move to bring FM radio to
rural India, the government will consider
allowing small towns with population of
about 1 lakh to have FM stations with a limited footprint. The cost of frequency for these non-news channels will be just Rs 50 lakh. The ministry of information and broadcasting plans to auction 839 channels in 249 cities in phase III of the bidding, Union
I&B minister Ambika Soni said.
The cities have been divided into four groups -A,B,C and D - according to their population.
Cities under category D are the ones with
maximum population of one lakh like Ambala in
Haryana, Bharuch in Gujarat, Bharatpur in
Rajasthan and Bokaro in Jharkhand.
