Explanation:
Broadcasting began in India in 1924 with the setting up of a private radio service in Madras (now, Chennai). The British government approved a licence to the Indian Broadcasting Company to inaugurate radio stations in Bombay (now Mumbai) and Calcutta (now, Kolkata).
Industries started operating them as the Indian State Broadcasting Corporation. The Corporation came to be called the All India Radio in 1936, and it was controlled by the Department of Communications. When India became independent in 1947, All India Radio (AIR) was made a separate department under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.
AIR, renamed as Akashvani, is a government-owned, semi-commercial operation of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. The AIR network had expanded by the mid- 1990s to around 146 AM stations along with a National Channel, the Integrated North-East Service that aimed at reaching out to the tribal groups in northeast India and the External Services.
There are five regional headquarters for the All India Radio. The government-owned network of Indian radio provides both national and local programmes in Hindi, English, and the regional languages. Commercial radio services in India started in 1967 with the Vividh Bharati service which has its headquarters at Mumbai
There are special broadcasts for special audiences, such as farrrters needing agro-climatic, plant protection, and other agriculture-related information. News, features, and entertainment programmes are mainly broadcast, and the target audiences include the listeners in neighbouring countries and the large overseas Indian community.
The FM broadcasting in India began in 1977 in Madras (now, Chennai). Till the 1990s, the All India Radio was all that the Indian audiences had. But private broadcasters emerged, especially in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Goa and Chennai, and this resulted in the emergence of private FM slots.
These were soon followed by stations in Hyderabad, Jaipur and Lucknow. Over time, the number of private players dwindled and Radio City, Radio Mirchi and Red FM were among the few that managed to sustain themselves. These channels are almost exclusively devoted to pop and film music
