New 10kW FM Station Approved For Chikkamagaluru

Times of India · india

Chikkamagaluru residents will soon experience improved radio connectivity with the Centre's approval for a new 10 kW FM station at Dattapeetha, the district's highest point. This high-power transmitter aims to provide uninterrupted FM coverage across the hilly terrain, addressing weak connectivity issues in areas like Koppa, Sringeri, and Mudigere. The station will also benefit neighbouring districts and serve as a platform for local news, agricultural information, education, and cultural promotion. This development fulfills a long-standing demand from local communities for better radio access.
