The people of Kozhikode have made a commitment to not let anyone go hungry in their city. They are silently funding a free meal coupon initiative that has fed over 9000 people in the last one year. ....

“We cannot ask a hungry person to get his hunger attested by a certified gazetted officer! That is why we insisted on the philosophy that ‘no questions will be asked’. If you ask for a food coupon, you will get it, it is as dignified as that,” says District Collector of Kozhikode, Prashant Nair, the chief architect of this project called ‘Operation Sulaimani’, eponymous of Kozhikode’s very own local black tea, served with a dash of lemon and cardamom.

The project was launched by Kozhikode’s District Collector, Prashant Nair, who envisaged this as a community owned and community driven initiative in its entirety. The Collector’s office initiated it and the Kerala State Hotel and Restaurants Association roped in over 125 city restaurants to become a part of this.
But, there are no big sponsors nor do any government funds flow in. The small and big contributions by the citizens are dropped into little boxes with ‘Operation Sulaimani’ inscribed on them.......

FROM SOAPS TO SAAT PHERAS

TV actress Gauri Pradhan has reinvented herself from a reluctant soap opera goddess to a boutique wedding planner. Once the most loved face in soaps, Gauri Pradhan has a distant look when asked about her last TV stint. "Meri Aashiqui Tumhi Se... or Tum Se Hi or something," she stuttered, claiming the title was too long to remember. "In the first few months of shooting, I kept asking Hiten (her husband) which one is it," smiled the actress, who has moved on from TV to set up a wedding planning outfit, called Knotty Tales, with Pallavee Duggall (actor Rajniesh Duggall's wife). Her shift was triggered by parenthood and demanding television schedules. "Most TV shows are now being shot in Naigaon. This means a two-hour commute one way. And I want to be around when my kids leave for school and return," she shared. The actress, who believes in doing "only one thing at a time", was never keen on the small screen. "I was big on modelling when I started out," said the Miss India aspirant, who participated in the beauty pageant in 1998, incidentally her last year in college. "I was shuttling between Mumbai and Pune (her hometown), when I met a senior actor associated with Cinevista at a party. He felt I would be perfect for an ambitious project they were producing for Doordarshan. Two hundred girls had been rejected for the part by then," she remembered of her TV debut, the eponymous role in Noorjahan, opposite Milind Soman who played Salim.

Playing a Mughal queen meant Gauri had to learn Urdu, fencing, horse riding and even acting. "I hated them, but they were paying for everything, so I didn't mind it as much," she smiled. The show "did well in the interiors", she informed us — a reason why it caught the attention of dogged TV queen Ekta Kapoor, who offered Gauri her most iconic small-screen avatar in Balaji Telefilms' Kutumb. "After my first TV show, I'd saved up enough for a holiday and was all packed to leave for a vacation when Balaji approached me with Kutumb," she said. Gauri rejected the offer, pegging her holiday as a deal-breaker. "But they were persistent and said they'd wait for my return. I quoted an obnoxious figure to make them re-consider, but they actually matched it and I was out of excuses. Ekta is like that. If she decides that she wants something or somebody, she will get it at any cost," she said of the TV stint that made her a household name. A string of TV shows like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Kumkum and Left Right Left followed. Her last, Meri Aashiqui Tumse Hi, which wrapped up last year, had her play the mother of the lead. "The role was fabulous but I won't play a mother on TV again," said the mum of seven-year-old twins. Turning wedding planner was driven by her hunt for a "creatively gratifying" career. "I am a Virgo and love planning things and am very particular about how I want something," she said sternly. Barely a few months in the business, Knotty Tales has earned the love of many satisfied clients. Popular themes, she shares, are "Great Gatsby" (read: gold and black) and vintage.

"Most young people, who pay for their own weddings, are big on food. They're willing to fly down a chef from their favourite restaurants and even rope in musicians to perform a gig at the venue. But they want it to be an intimate affair. They don't want to invite 1,000 people at a five-star but prefer 200-300 people at a bungalow in Alibaug," she said, adding that "steel is the colour in vogue". The challenge, predictably, is getting paid. "Most clients want the world, only until you share the budget with them. Then they don't want anything," she laughed.

DRM Recommends DRM30 for FCC’s AM Revitalization

Digital Radio Mondiale has submitted comments to the FCC in regards to the AM Revitalization (MM Docket No. ET 13-249). While the organization says that it is supportive of changes to rules for AM broadcasters, in its comments it also submits a proposal for the FCC to consider its DRM30 standard mode for replacing analog sound broadcasting in frequency bands below 30 MHz. The organization cites its recent rollout in India as an example of its benefits.

Among the benefits of the DRM 30, according to DRM, is its ability to provide data services — such as emergency warnings, data carriage, and EPG — to supplement the program content or for independent purposes as required by Recommendation ITU-R BS.1348.DRM says that its service can provide AM audio quality close to that of FM. It also offers up to three audio channels and one data on a single frequency, as well as stable reception over long distances. The organization claims that current infrastructure can be used and upgraded.

In addition, more content is available, according to DRM. For example, additional audio/visual/text content; web pages and links; and stereo/surround sound/surround sound 5.1.“While we recognize that the United States has selected HD Radio technology for its standard, other systems are in wide use in other parts of the world,” said Ruxandra Obreja, DRM Consortium chairman. “We respectfully request that the FCC consider the universality which could be created by multi-standard receivers.”

AIR mulls shutting down short wave service

The Board of India’s national broadcaster Prasar Bharati is contemplating shutting down the shortwave service of the External Services Division (ESD) of All India Radio (AIR), according to a report in Sunday Guardian Live.

While a proposal to switch to more affordable internet-based radio service is under consideration, a section of the board feels that an exorbitant amount is being spent to maintain the current short wave infrastructure.

AIR began external broadcasting shortly after the outbreak of the Second World War, with a service in Pushtu for listeners across the country’s then North West Frontier to counter radio propaganda from Germany, directed at Afghanistan, Iran and Arab countries.At present, ESD broadcasts 57 transmissions daily, with almost 72 hours covering over 108 countries in 27 languages, out of which 15 are foreign and 12 are Indian.

According to an official in the ESD, its total annual budget is $15 million (Rs 1 billion), out of which approximately $14.24 million (Rs 950 million) is spent on the maintenance of short wave transmitters and the rest on the production of programmes and staff salaries.While it’s difficult to estimate the number of listeners across the world, it does have a good following based on the feedback that we receive from people in Africa, New Zealand, Australia and Japan.

“The proposal suggests the shutting down of short wave and the service being made web-based. Since internet is far reaching, listening radio live on the web should not hurt our existing fan base. But of course there is the argument that short wave can reach even the remotest corners of the world, which is not the case with internet signals. The shutting down of short wave, without a doubt, will affect the propaganda value of India among its listeners abroad. Also, India’s edge in a continent like Africa will suffer a blow if the short-wave is to be shut down,” sources in AIR told Sunday Guardian Live.

Podcasting Becomes Even More Important as Google Adds Support for Android

Google launched its portal for podcasters back in October.Jacobs Media’s new Web study of radio listeners shows a big increase in the importance of podcasting and on-demand programming. Both show impressive gains.

The Techsurvey12 was conducted from Jan. 19–Feb. 22 of this year. Stakeholder stations participated in a recent webinar, and the results of the study will be released over the next few months.In the survey, the media habits of 12 format-core audiences along, and four generations, are examined. “From “Boomers” to “Millennials”, different patterns of consumption emerge, providing radio broadcasters with information from which they can map out game plans and strategies,” according the Jacobs’ Media’s blog on this topic. “Techsurvey12 provides two different pyramids for stakeholder stations. The Media Usage Pyramid contains broad categories from smartphone and tablet ownership to audio and video streaming. The Brand Platform Pyramid shows brands such as Hulu, TuneIn, and Amazon Prime.” Let’s take a look at the usage platform.

Please take note of the following:

More than 90% of respondents spend at least one hour per day with radio and/or television, the foundation of this pyramid.
84% of respondents now own a smartphone, and 66% have a tablet.
Nearly half the respondents own a “smart” TV or use Apple TV or Chromecast.
57% of respondents use streaming audio at least once per week.
Penetration of “Connected cars” has reached 20% with these respondents.
Podcasting has seen a large increase year over year: 28% have now listened to a podcast, or on-demand audio, at least once in the last month. Last year this figure was at 21%.

The publishing of podcasts has gotten even easier since Google launched its portal for podcasters back in October of last year. “...We’re launching a portal for podcasters to start uploading their shows to Google Play Music before we open up the service to listeners. Along with direct searches and browsing for podcasts, the service will connect new listeners with podcasts based on what they’re doing, how they’re feeling, or what they’re interested in. Similar to our contextual playlists for music, this will give podcast fans and new listeners a way of finding and listening to content that’s unique to Google Play Music. Podcasters in the US can start uploading shows now at g.co/podcastportal,” according to a blog entryfrom that date.

Up until now the vast majority of usage of podcasts has been via Apple devices. “70% of all consumption happens in either iTunes or Apple’s Podcasts app. This has led many to speculate that the single biggest thing that could happen to podcasting is Google’s embrace of the medium,” according to Jacobs Media.

“...today, (Google) made its new directory available to the public. The rollout in the Google Play Music app will be gradual, so it may take some time before you see the new directory on your Android phone.

“The big takeaway here is that for Android mobile users, podcast access has been somewhere been arduous and clunky. That’s about to end, making it easy for “the other half” of smartphone owners to seamlessly access podcasts.”

It not only heralded a new era for Indian television, it also enabled sports enthusiasts to watch the Asian Games in colour. Such was the craze of watching the sports extravaganza on colour TV, that people were ready to spend as much as Rs 8,000 on an Indian set and up to Rs 15,000 on the imported version, according to a 1982 India Today report......

Prasar Bharti chief demands law to punish 'anti-nationals'

Prasar Bharati chief A Surya Prakash on Monday demanded that a new law to punish anti-nationals should be made in the country 'to deal with those who question the country's integrity and sovereignty'. Speaking at a programme organised by the public administration department of Lucknow University, Surya Prakash said events like the 'Afzal Guru protest' at JNU in February were a direct assault on the Constitution. "The 42nd report of the Law Commission has strongly recommended penal action against individuals who question the nation's territorial integrity, its judicial system and its Parliament. And these are the very offences committed by those who raised slogans and prepared posters at JNU," he said. Surya Prakash also took a dig at the group of poets, writers and intellectuals who had returned their awards after the Dadri lynching, claiming that many of them had accepted Padmas soon after the anti-Sikh riots of 1984 and the Emergency.

Recent entrant in the list of Padma Shri awardees, filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar also spoke on the issue of a "fake intolerance wave" being created in the country. He said that while he believed in freedom of expression for all, he was against selective treatment towards issues. "Why be selective towards the government of Modiji? All such riots and killings have happened in earlier times too so all of this 'award wapsi' and intolerance issue appeared farce to me. Once the Bihar elections were over, everything died down," he said, adding "and we did counter the scenario by taking out the march vying for India's tolerant nature," he added. Talking on the issue of expression in cinema, Bhandarkar said that while he has had a regular professional tiff with the Censor Board for his films, he supported the body's existence. "There are certain people in the fraternity who want to do away with it, but if that happens, there will no control over what the fringe and senseless elements start showing in films," he said.

Where mobile network can't reach, Ham radio does the trick

Ham radio is the only mode of communication for polling and security personnel during the ongoing assembly polling some remote corners of West Bengal, which have been left untouched even by mobile phone towers. Armed with solar-powered batteries and Ham radio handsets, a team of licensed Ham radio operators were agents of last mile connectivity between North 24 Parganas district control room at Barasat and those on the field. "This is the first time that Ham radio operators are being used in the election process to provide connectivity. We are very proud and are doing it free of cost as a service to the nation," Ambarish Nag Biswas of West Bengal Radio Club (amateur club), told Press Trust of India. They have set up their equipments and infrastructure in 47 polling premises, each manned by a licensed amateur Ham radio operator.

Most of such unconnected areas are in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Sundarbans archipelago, famous for its tigers and mangrove forests. Tanusree Batabyal, returning officer of Hingalganj Assembly constituency, said some islands were so remote that poll personnel had to cross two rivers on boat and then take a motorised van to reach polling booths. "There are no mobile towers and sending a team to pass on a message to the control room will take lot of time. So these radio operators are our only help to be in constant touch," he said. Even polling personnel had to start travelling two days ahead of polling day to cross geographical barriers. Most of these villages are without electricity also and radio batteries have to be charged with solar panels. Ham radio uses radio frequency spectrum to exchange messages with other radio operators. Each one of them are assigned a call sign for identity.

In order to prescribe a framework for radio rating system in India that is conducive to growth, forward looking, and addresses the concerns of the stakeholders while protecting the interests of the consumers, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has suo-motu initiated a consultation process seeking comments/views of stakeholders on the issues related to radio audience measurement and ratings in India. The main objectives of the consultation paper is to ensure growth of radio broadcasting sector, ensure transparency in radio audience measurement & ratings and ensure greater diversity and better quality content.

A consultation paper released by TRAI states that the number of people listening to radio is expected to grow further after completion of phase-III of the FM radio expansion activity. This will further enhance the reach of advertisers and as a result the overall expenditure on radio advertisements is likely to increase giving a further boost to radio industry.According to TRAI, the revenue of radio broadcasting sector in 2014 was Rs 1,720 crore, with a year-on year increase of 18% from 2013 to 2014, driven by increasing popularity of radio in smaller towns and cities. TRAI estimates that the radio broadcasting sector revenues will grow at a CAGR of 18 % to reach Rs 3,950 crore by 2019.

TRAI has also stated that the total advertisement revenue of Media and Entertainment (M&E) industry was Rs 41,400 crore in 2014, contributing approximately 31% to the total M&E revenues. It estimates the advertisement revenue to grow at a CAGR of 14.5% to reach Rs 81,600 crore by 2019. Presently television and print media sectors corner the maximum advertisement revenue (approximately 80% of the total revenues) spend in India. Though the radio broadcasting sector presently accounted for only 4% of total advertisement revenue in 2014, it is however expected to garner 5% of the total advertisement revenues by 2019.

The consultation paper further suggests that there is a need for radio audience measurement which can give a sense of the popularity of a channel or a program to the advertisers and advertising agencies. This will assist them in selecting the right channel or program at the right time to reach the target listeners. Further, it will also aid the radio channels in improving their programs for attracting more listeners.As per TRAI, the task of allocating resources for advertisements by advertisers and advertising agencies has become increasingly challenging with the growth in the number of FM radio channels and vastly increased variety of programs available. Advertising expenditures are typically guided by audience measurement in addition to other factors such as cost of reaching various audience segments, advertisement placements and program schedules.

Advertisement revenues of the radio broadcasting sector are directly linked to listenership of radio channels. In case of newspapers and other print media, audience measurement is based on the number of copies sold. This physical count is however not possible in the case of radio and television sectors, wherein a different form of audience measurement is necessitated.In case of television, subsequent to TRAI’s recommendations on guidelines for Television Rating Agencies dated 11th September 2013, MIB issued guidelines for Television Rating Agencies and an industry body --Broadcasting Audience Research Council (BARC) was entrusted with the task of conducting TV audience measurement.Similarly for the radio broadcasting sector, the Radio Audience Measurement (RAM), which is an indicator of the number of listeners to a radio channels, has become essential.
