I&B Minister inaugurates BES Expo 2013
Minister for Information & Broadcasting, Shri Manish Tewari has said with
the exponential growth in the media space, a paradigm shift has taken place
wherein regulations have to keep pace with changing technologies. An
enabling statutory environment has to be in place to keep pace with changes
taking place across platforms. The changing landscape of the Media and
entertainment industry had enabled it to become one of the fastest growing
sectors of our economy. This had been facilitated by policies that have
encouraged investments, sustainability for business models and promoted
entrepreneurship and innovation. It was imperative that the industry
specially the Broadcasting sector had learnt to adopt, adapt and innovate
with the changes taking place. Shri Tewari stated this while delivering his
address at the BES Expo 2013 here today.
The Minister further stated that the renewed thrust by the industry has
reinforced the concept of inclusive growth. "Inclusive Growth" is an act of
faith - It was a developmental model that addressed the concerns of each
stakeholder and recipient by the effective placement of social development
programmes and policies. On the issue of democratization of media, Shri
Tewari stated that it was important to understand the implications of this
process on the social ethos of the country and the people at large.
Shri Manish Tewari further mentioned that due to the paradigm shift taking
place, Broadcasting shall always remain a dynamic medium of communication.
The guiding principles for this sector will always be innovation, ingenuity
and the vision to converge technologies. Conferences such as BES Expo 2013
provided an opportunity to introspect and bring about changes at the policy
level keeping in mind the roadmap and requirements of the future.
Earlier addressing the delegates, Shri Sam Pitroda, Adviser to the Prime
Minister on Public Information Infrastructure and Innovations said
technology had brought about a major change in the lives of the people.The
shift was also visible in the way the broadcasting sector was functioning.
The challenge lay in imbibing the innovations in the critical sectors which
would determine the course in the future. During the course of his address
, Shri Pitroda gave an overview of the initiatives undertaken by the
government to strengthen the national knowledge network and public
infrastructure system. In the course of his address, Secretary I&B, Shri
Uday Kumar Varma highlighted the changes that had taken place in the sector
in view of the policy initiatives undertaken recently and the immediate
concerns that had to be addressed by the industry at large.

World Radio Day 2013
13 February is World Radio Day — a day to celebrate radio as a medium; to improve international cooperation between broadcasters; and to encourage major networks and community radio alike to promote access to information and freedom of expression over the airwaves.
As radio continues to evolve in the digital age, it remains the medium that reaches the widest audience worldwide. This multi-purpose medium can help people, including youth, to engage in discussions on topics that affect them. It can save lives during natural or human-made disasters; and it provides journalists with a platform to report facts and tell their stories.
UNESCO encourages all countries to celebrate World Radio Day by planning activities in partnership with regional, national and international broadcasters, non-governmental organizations, the media and the public.
Throughout these web pages, you will find a wealth of resources that you can use free of charge and without copyright restriction to help plan your World Radio Day event.
Let’s celebrate!

Sony launches new portable radio model market
| |
 Sony is a brand well known for providing fresh air to products that are on the edge of the step fashion. In the market for portable radios have launched the most interesting devices in recent years, with new features that let you get more out of their utilization. Model XDR-55TV is radio's newest manufacturer that stands out from previous versions by simply be a portable radio, having additional features as occurring in previous models distributed by the same company. But the truth is that XDR-55TV does have a pretty resounding particularity, less surprising for Japanese and more curious in view of Western users. It is based on the use of television, hence the use of TV in its model name. Not that the radio has a screen where we watch TV, but 1Seg tuner lets you output the TV channels that tune into . That is, if a channel are issuing a gathering, we can listen without having to view the image, or the same for a sporting event or even a movie if it were not necessary to see the image. In Japan, the sound is very important, existing multitude of entertainment products founded on the use of sound. The radio soap opera, which had its heyday in the past for Westerners in Japan continues to thrive as was the case decades ago. So a radio like this makes little sense to launch in the country. Besides this, the radio tunes AM and FM frequencies, has some measures 190 x 36 x 95 millimeters and weighs 480 grams. To function only needs two AA batteries that can work with the sound playing for 17 continuous hours. It is a striking radio model is launched in Japan in the month of February, the same principles, but without determining the exact day, the cost of 16,000 yen.(Rs.9500.00) Via K.C.SIVARAJ, EDAPPADI-SALEM |

DRM to demonstrate Digital Radio Benefits at India’s BES Expo 2013
Digital Radio Mondiale is to have its own booth (95B) at this year's Indian
Broadcast Engineering Society's 19th International Conference and
Exhibition. The show will take place in Halls N 12 and 12A, Pragathi
Maidan, New Delhi,India from 29th to 31st January 2013.
Very recently Prasar Bharati (All India Radio) awarded an order for 21
additional medium wave AM transmitters and associated equipment from DRM
Consortium member, Nautel. The orders for 100 kW and 200 kW transmitters
join the earlier announced order of six 300 kW DRM transmitters from All
India Radio making this the world's largest digital radio deployment to
date. All transmitters will be used in 27 locations throughout India.
DRM Chairman, Ruxandra Obreja, hails this development as: "the most
significant development for digital radio in AM and receiver availability
to date. Indian listeners will thus have a chance to hear their favourite
channel in their chosen language in crystal clear quality with all the
added benefits of the extra services that make digital radio an aggregator
of all modern communication platforms".

With DRM now so high on the radio digitisation agenda in India, the
Consortium intends to give BES participants and visitors a firsthand, live
experience of the DRM benefits. In addition, several DRM members are to
have their own booths at the event : Ampegon (Booth 59), Digidia (Booth
109), Harris (Booth 97) and Nautel/Comcon (Booth 87). BE, which recently
joined the Consortium as a full member, will also demonstrate at booth 91
their new DRM+ capable transmitters, which might be another cost-effective
solution for India's third phase of FM privatization. Their new FM
transmitter to be seen at BES broadcasts a DRM+ signal and an analogue FM
signal simultaneously through one single transmitter.
DRM experts from Consortium members Analog Devices, Fraunfofer IIS, NXP and
RFmondial will also be attending both the BES exhibition and the
conference. Representatives from Ampegon, Analog Devices, Digidia and
Fraunhofer are also to make presentations at the Digital Radio Broadcasting
session on the morning of the 31 st Jan. The session will be
chaired by the Engineer-In-Chief, All India Radio (AIR) and will also

About DRM
Digital Radio Mondiale TM (DRM) is the universal, openly standardised
digital broadcasting system for all broadcasting frequencies below and
above 30 MHz, including LW, MW, SW, band I, II (FM band) and band III. DRM
provides digital sound quality and the ease-of-use that comes from digital
radio, combined with a wealth of enhanced features: Surround Sound,
Journaline text information, Slideshow, EPG, and data services.
DRM on short, medium and long wave for broadcasting bands up to 30 MHz
(called 'DRM30') provides large coverage areas and low power consumption.
The enhancement of the DRM standard for broadcast frequencies above 30
MHz ('DRM+') uses the same audio coding, data services, multiplexing and
signalling schemes as DRM30 but introduces an additional transmission mode
optimized for those bands.

What Ails Community Radio?' on Lok Sabha TV
Dear all: As you may be aware, the Community Radio Forum of India has been engaging with several ministries and media outlets in order to advocate for CR related policy changes. During this process, several articles have appeared in print and online regarding the CR sector in India, featuring CRF office bearers and members. The latest such engagement in this process has been an interview with CRF General Secretary N.Ramakrishnan and Treasurer Arti Jaiman on Lok Sabha TV's Talk Time programme. The hour long programme, conducted by journalist Paranjoy Guha Thakurta, is scheduled for airing tomorrow (24th January 2012), with repeats over the next week - see the schedule below. We used the opportunity to talk about the spectrum issue, restrictive policy clauses, and the things we could learn from global experiences - and also struck a blow against the whole concept of not issuing CR licenses in so-called conflict zones across the country. We sincerely hope all of it ends up in the final programme - and that this becomes the catalyst that spurs more such media coverage of the CR sector. Watch it on Lok Sabha TV at 8 pm on the 24th, followed by repeats on Sunday (27th) 7 am, Monday (28th) 11 am and Thursday (31st) 4 pm. Needless to say, 'programme schedule liable to change without notice'! Warm regards, Ramakrishnan General Secretary, CRF -- N.Ramakrishnan Director of Projects Ideosync Media Combine 177, Ashoka Enclave III Sector 35, Faridabad - 121 003 Haryana - India Tel: +91-0129-4131883/4064883/4065883/6510156 Mobile: +91-9810273883 Web: www.ideosyncmedia.org Join the Community Radio Forum.
