Fm listening | Promoting local talent |
| |
There are very few FM channels which have a nationwide network that can be heard in different cities. Otherwise most of the FM channels are localised, covering only one city and its surrounding areas. Where this thing is disadvantageous in some aspects, it is also favoring in many ways as it provides a chance for the local shopkeepers to advertise their business and products.
