Interestingly, Sarma’s name was not among the 13 names shortlisted from the 26 applications received by the search committee formed to select the next chairman. Sarma will relieve AK Sawhney of his duties as interim chairman when he takes charge.

PPL, IPRS take FM route to create awareness | Radioandmusic.com
Music licensing bodies The Phonographic Performance Ltd (PPL) and The Indian Performing Right Society (IPRS) have started a radio campaign across the country to create awareness about the issue of music royalty.
The campaigns, that began this week, are being aired on Reliance ADAG's Big FM and Sun Network’s SFM which promise a pan India presence and will be on air for one month, mainly targeting event organisers in view of the upcoming Christmas and New Year celebrations.
Comments PPL CEO Vipul Pradhan, “We have started campaigning on radio to educate the laymen that although they are not directly involved in paying the royalties, they have to make it a point that the organisers pay the requisite royalty fees during the New Year celebrations. PPL would be airing 30 second ads around 20 times a day.”

Sadanand Menon: Cinema in the Age of Hypervisuality
The TV grab of filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma trudging through the debris at Taj Hotel will remain one of the more grotesque images of the aftermath of the sixty hours of mayhem in Mumbai, last fortnight. I have been trying to figure out what was so disturbing about it and why so many people felt offended by it. It was promptly dubbed ‘terror tourism’ and soundly berated.

In fact, it is interesting how so few of the Bollywood fraternity, who walk in and out of these 7-star hotels everyday, actually came there physically during or after the shootout. Even later, when an assorted bunch from Simi Garewal, Dia Mirza and Jaaved Jaffrey to Preity Zinta, Raveena Tandon and Sharmila Tagore did come on to the TV discussion panels, they sounded out of sync and had only banal or hawkish ideas to peddle. Despite the major glam star-cast, these TV shows were flops. Agents of the cinema seemed like sly interlopers here.
Community radio station approved

DD allowed to book ads for India-Sri Lanka ODIs
State-owned broadcaster Doordarshan has been allowed by the Delhi High Court to book advertisements for the two one-day international (ODI) cricket matches between India and Sri Lanka.
DD will share the revenue generated from these advertisements in the ratio of 25:75 with Ten Sports, the official broadcaster of the series.
This arrangement was approved by the Court as Ten Sports agreed to share the live feed of the remaining two ODI India-Sri Lanka matches with the public broadcaster. The private channel gave this undertaking to the bench of Justice Manmohan Sarin and Justice Veena Birbal.
Policy guidelines for IPTV services cleared
The Union Cabinet on Thursday cleared the policy guidelines for the commercial rollout of Internet Protocol TV services, a new cable TV delivery system that would benefit both telecom players and consumers.
“Issuance of the guidelines will bring clarity on defining the parameters within which the service providers will work and clarify how these services will be regulated,” Information and Broadcasting Minister Priyaranjan Dasmunsi said.
The Cabinet also gave its approval to amend the policy guidelines for downlinking of TV channels to allow broadcasters to provide content to IPTV service providers. Currently, downlinking norms allow broadcasters only to share their channels with cable and direct-to-home platforms.
IPTV involves delivery of television and video signals over a broadband network. It uses the Internet to deliver not only television channels but also other value-added services such as time-shift TV, interactive advertising, film shows without advertisements and games.

Distant Arunachal Pradesh gets the feel of FM radio
In Arunachal Pradesh, where poor network of roads severely restrict people's choice for outside entertainment, the newly-launched FM radio has come as a good alternative.
In fact, the FM radio launched here recently by a Guwahati-based company has become sort of a craze as people often stay up late enjoying the latest mode of interactive entertainment.
If FM radio has spiced up the otherwise humdrum lives of the Arunachalese, the arrival of mobile phone and cable TV together with bank ATMs and cyber cafes has revolutionised the life style, bringing in the modern times.
