‘One of the radio stations has said we would make our station completely Hindi channel’. For not only this aspect and for other aspects that has legal support also – Karnataka Audio and Video Association headed by biggies Lahari Velu, Anand Audio Mohan Chabria, Bharath of Jhenkar and others set a deadline as November 1 as date for making the seven radio stations go Kannada.
Lahari Velu, Anand Audio Mohan Chabria, Bharat Jain of Jhenkar and others says the asking is according to the guidelines set by the Government of India. Radio stations in regions should give prominence to local language.
In addition to the main demand to go Kannada before November 1, it was also stated the revenue sharing is not happening in the right way, the promotion of Kannada film songs are not done in right way. They get revenue of Rs.1.5 crore to Rs.2 crore per month but the payment is peanuts to audio houses said Velu.
From our stuff they are growing stronger but never looked soft to audio houses, singers, music directors and Kannada film producers etc. Akashavani is right in its using and supporting today described Velu. For one hour show they make lakhs of rupees but using songs in between no payment is fixed charged Velu.
Anand Audio Mohan demanded the right sharing of revenue. The statement of radio stations we are here to popularize already popular ones is wrong. It is their duty to popularize by broadcasting. The disrespect shown o small films should be avoided he felt. Sanju Weeds Geetha songs was not played for 45 days, Krishnan Marriage story Kannada film they picked only one song where as there are other best songs. Why such step motherly treatment to Kannada asked Mohan Chabria.
Top singers Sangeetha Katti challenged the radio stations to give proper Kannada. She also put a challenge to give complete Hindi when they speak. No they cannot take my challenge she said pointing to the disrespect to Kannada singers. Oh are you a Kannada singer they asked me. I felt very bad for such irresponsibility stated Sangeetha Katti.
