Resumption of beloved local programming brings joy to listeners and artists alike
Pune News : After a prolonged absence spanning two years, the evening local broadcast of Akashvani Pune Centre is poised to make a triumphant comeback on April 7, following recent approval from senior authorities at All India Radio (AIR).
The decision to revive the evening broadcast heralds a significant victory for the dedicated listeners of Pune, who have fervently advocated for the reinstatement of their cherished programming.
Amidst the hiatus, the reduction in local program production by AIR had left a void, limiting opportunities for local artists, intellectuals, and occasional announcers. In response, both listeners and local artists in Pune mounted protests and consistently voiced their concerns to higher authorities.
Thanks to their unwavering efforts, senior officials have now given the green light to the reinstatement of the evening broadcast of Akashvani Pune Centre, much to the delight of the Pune community.
With the revival of the evening broadcast, listeners can once again anticipate enjoying a plethora of their favorite local programs, including Yuvvani, Hello Aapli Aavad, Nabhonatya Folk Music, Classical Music, and Family Programmes.
Indrajit Bagal, the director of the Pune Centre of Akashvani and Doordarshan, expressed his satisfaction with the decision, stating, “A proposal was forwarded to the higher authorities on behalf of Akashvani Pune Center, on April 7.”
This announcement heralds the imminent return of Pune’s airwaves, rekindling a sense of community connection through regionally crafted content.
