MUMBAI: With radio operators being given permission to carry news bulletins from All India Radio, everyone has been left wondering if news on private FM will now sound like AIR or like the dramatic TV news sagas. Then again, radio stations could also create their very own style, if allowed. Only time will tell what is in store, but until then radio networks are chalking down ways to implement news in a more effective way.

The change in power from UPA to a BJP-led government, and the appointment of MIB minister Prakash Javadekar, confirmed Private FM stations will be allowed to air news from sources like AIR and PTI. The Union Minister also added that FM RJs will be allowed to read news; a statement that was followed by mixed views.
