FM LISTENING | Copying from the television |
| |
The transmission of almost all FM channels is 24-hours a day, seven days a week and 365 days a year. However, these whole year transmissions are flooded with similar programs in which most RJs inform listeners about the 'ins' and 'outs' of Hollywood and Bollywood, of the divorces, marriages, love affairs of the film and music celebrities, which singer is doing well, and which song rocks. If this is not enough then listen to listeners calling in to the shows appreciating the programs, buttering RJs, requesting for a song and that is all.
