Expert panels soon to revamp Prasar Bharati

Set for a major revamp, public sector broadcaster Prasar Bharati will set up expert committees which will advise it on viewership preferences,programmes and for archive retrieval in Doordarshan.Prasar Bharati chief executive officer Jwahar Sircar today said in Kolkata that the Advisory committees will be set up in 11 kendras across the country. He requested individuals from different fields to volunteer as per their fields of expertise as the idea is to revamp and democratise the existing structure.

He explained that Prasar Bharati's radio broadcasting arm Akashvani is recasting the programme content of its two FMchannels – FM Rainbow and FM Gold – by introducing breakfast shows, special slots for western as well as devotional songs.These programmmes originating in AIR FM Delhi wouldhave a pan-India flavour and acknowledge listeners joining in from various states.He further said that the news content of FM Gold had been so rationalised that continuous news and programmes stretching over several hours had been made concise and would be alternated with entertainment content.Mr.Sircar said,popular western music has been retained and stations at Shillong and Panaji have been asked to provide good western music content for enrichment of content.
