Abstract

abstractThis paper outlines briefly the history of radio in India and examines the hits and misses of state policy that helped determine the kind of market, technology and listeners radio in India built up over its 75 years as public broadcaster. The paper argues that FM technology offers a unique opportunity to democratize radio through community radio movement to free it from both market and state control. It examines the state policy that has prevented this so far and concludes by highlighting the paradoxes of Indian broadcast history.
