FM Radio Channels Warned against airing vulgar content

In an advisory to these channels, the I & B Ministry said it has come to its notice that "vulgar and objectionable content is very often being broadcast on several FM Radio channels."
"It has also been noticed that the language used by many Radio jockeys is indecent and offensive. They often make defamatory and derogatory comments, particularly during night hours which do not appear to be in good taste," it said.

Having noticed instances where objectionable and vulgar content was being broadcast on private FM Radio channels, the Information and Broadcasting ministry has asked them to ensure that the programmes were clean and the language of jockeys decent.
