Last night, I complelled myself to listen to Radio Mirchi @ 98.3 because I had comment that radio mirchi is doing well. I had listened to it just for few hours and wanted to see if the comment was true. During the nights they play some oldies which are very nice. Their comperes are really good and their ads are also fine. But I am still not convinced with their song picks. Some of them are really unheard. But lets wait and watch…err…hear.

Kanmani, the compere of Kaalai Thendral ( Morning Breeze ) in Suryan FM @ 105.8 is doing a great job. With her honey sweet voice and the entu that she shows to greet her callers is simply fabulous. I have become a regular listener of her shows and they are real mood-setters for the day.

I don’t understand why people plug lampshades on the fences and then tie it tightly with a non-transparent polythene cover. Why put the lampshade in first place ? Any takes ?

Dusted my Philips Powerhouse and put it into work with FM. All these days it was just lying across my room untouched because we all turned to MP3 Cds and it was just a plain old taperecorder. Atleast it was useful for the FM purpose. Radio Mirchi @ 98.3 seems very out of place and it plays some real unheard numbers. The oldies in Radio Mirchi are the better ones. Suryan FM @ 105.8 is clearly in the top of the race. There is a lot of potential and I am expecting more FM channels to be intitated in Chennai.

Watched Panchathantiram thrice in the last two days and it was a real timepass. As usual it was kamal’s impressive comedy and I had a chance to listen to many of the crackers only when I watched it for more than once. Nice movie for a weekend.

Continuing the tiff between Cable TV operators and Satellite TV owners, I have some very strong thougts which might be acceptable by many. Meanwhile, today’s newsapers say that there was a meeting by the Cable TV operators and consumers somewhere in chennai and the outcome was that they decided to air only FTA (Free-to-air) channels and this would help in saving dual income to Satellite TVs. Dual income includes, income from advertisements and also through these subscription costs which they charge Cable TV operators on the basis of no. of connections.

Sometimes, we are taken over so much by the media, that we don’t even see the other side of the story. Imagine, The Hindu or Indian Express newspaper does the same thing. They sell papers free of charge to the newspaper shops and they get money only through advertisements. Would that happen? Will they ever agree to it or is it first of all correct? So you as a consumer pay 3 bucks for the newspaper guy and he will give take the money for himself because he delivers it in your house. So the 3 bucks that you pay does not reach the newspaper company. What would happen?. The sponsors or the advertisers would take over the newspaper company. They will start demanding what news should be presented in the nespaper and how it should be framed. Our newspapers will also become Satellite TV with more advertisements and less content.

Why don’t we support subscription for all channels. THINK.
