Well... I did not write about this on the "D" day purposely and waited for 10 days to do this.
Reason is practical... I belong to the industry and the industry in itself was not wanting to do anything on this.
Or probably not even aware.. Sad :(
23rd of July this year marked 75 years of Indian radio.
The first Radio Broadcast in India happened on 23rd July 1927 in Bombay (Now Mumbai)
As per the wikipedia page for AIR:-
In British India, broadcasting began in July 1927 with programmes by the Radio Club of Bombay and other radio clubs. According to an agreement of 1926, the private Indian Broadcasting Company (IBC) was authorized to operate two radio stations; the Bombay station began on 23 July 1927, and the Calcutta station followed on 26 August 1927.
Now the question is...
That the radio stations in the country end up doing a big ticket activity. (3 days to a week minimum) on the World Music Day.
As I posted in my last post.. its not the World "Music Day" but the "World Music" Day.
i.e. Its about a genre of music called "World Music" and not the Day for the World to celebrate Music in general.
So where are we heading?? What are we giving out to the masses.
I believe that if a show presenter pronounces a word wrong, then at least 10 people would change their pronunciation of that word thinking that this was the correct one.
In such situations... are we headed the right way??
Please do leave your comments :)
