FM is a source of entertainment and information sharing but I think Pune Radio michi has forgotten it. According to them entertainment is useless advertisements which neither pass on any news nor bring awareness nor make people laugh.
We should not forget that FM is a cheap source of information for poor as well. That should be fully utilized to pass on vital information and to educate people. For example: we get to see Polio drops advertisements on TV why can't we hear that on FM as well. Even some cooking programs like khana khazana can be aired. So such kind of info sharing must happen.
When radio mirchi started in Pune the kind of music varied from retro/classic, latest all sorts and both English and Hindi. But lately its only and only Himesh Reshammiya songs and all nonsense remix music. 90% of the programs target a particular audience that is only young crowd. Then there is repetition of songs. There is no program which air old melodies.
Talking about old music they have totally forgotten about it. Majority of the day I and my friends prefer listening to Vividh bharti. Its only sunday night last 45 minutes that we get to hear soft old songs.
Its a very poor show...I think a poll should be done for the kind of programs that should be aired and not crap. Please take some ideas from Delhi and Mumbai channels.
