Community radio gets complete waiver from any fee payment
Community Radios can now cheer. After reeling under financial pressure for
past few months over a five fold increase in annual spectrum and royalty
fees, they would now get a complete waiver from any fee payment.
The government's generosity comes after an intense push by the Information
& Broadcasting ministry, which felt that the community radio was a very
effective medium to make government's "development agenda" reach to the
people.
