New Sinhala Radio channel on test

The latest Sinhala Language radio station is testing on 94.5FM. According to reports this channel is being operated by Power House the same people who run Derana Television.

We wish the management all the best as they prepare for the launch of this radio station which has not been named as yet. The only sad thing is that all these people opt to start an analog radio station instead of venturing into digital broadcasting.

We hope that after the Digital Broadcasting Conference & Exhibition later on this year we will have suitable plan to convert all these stations to digital since we are running out of frequencies for any new radio stations. This frequency crunch as resulted in the delay of new frequencies for Sun FM & Sha FM.
