HISTORY OF THE ORGANISATION As Times group is involved in all media channels hence decided to start a new venture with radio channel. Times decided to start radio channel to address the mass audience as advertisers can be attracted by showing a low cost per thousand. The original avatar of Radio or AIR, a government undertaking, was the only radio broadcaster in India. The government than took the initiative to privatize the radio broadcasting sector.

The Times Group operated its brand, Times FM, till June1998. After that, the government decided not to renew contracts given to private operators. First round of licenses In 2000, the government announced the auction of 108 FM frequencies across India. Entertainment National India Limited (ENIL) won the largest number of frequencies, and thus started its operations under the brand name Radio Mirchi. Second round of licenses In January 2006, Radio Mirchi bagged 25 frequencies in the second wave of licenses that were issued by the Government of India.

  • A Study on the Role of Public and Private Sector Radio in Women's
    Athens Journal of Mass Media and Communications- Volume 4, Issue 2 – Pages 121-140 A Study on the Role of Public and Private Sector Radio in Women’s Development with Special Reference to India By Afreen Rikzana Abdul Rasheed Neelamalar Maraimalai† Radio plays an important role in the lives of women belonging to all sections of society, but especially for homemakers to relieve them from isolation and help them to lighten their spirit by hearing radio programs. Women today play almost every role in the Radio Industry - as Radio Jockeys, Program Executives, Sound Engineers and so on in both public and private radio broadcasting and also in community radio. All India Radio (AIR) constitutes the public radio broadcasting sector of India, and it has been serving to inform, educate and entertain the masses. In addition, the private radio stations started to emerge in India from 2001. The study focuses on private and public radio stations in Chennai, which is an important metropolitan city in India, and on how they contribute towards the development of women in society. Keywords: All India Radio, private radio station, public broadcasting, radio, women’s development Introduction Women play a vital role in the process of a nation’s change and development. The Indian Constitution provides equal status to men and women. The status of women in India has massively transformed over the past few years in terms of their access to education, politics, media, art and culture, service sectors, science and technology activities etc. (Agarwal, 2008). As a result, though Indian women have the responsibilities of maintaining their family’s welfare, they also enjoy more liberty and opportunities to chase their dreams.
