1st to launch in 2010 is Eng Radio Channel on fm 97 (Colombo)

be cool....

Rasika said...

this frequency has been allocated to Sath FM. that means it is owned by Satnet????????

Duffy said...

SLBC(ES) has been renamed RADIO SRI LANKA!!!

Nik said...

Good luck for who ever comes on 97 FM from Colombo.

97 is already operational from Nuwara Eliya by SLBC.

Why these mad people cant understand basic radio technology before they go put up a transmitter on top of a building.

Further, 97 is alloacted to satnet from magalkanda on low power regional based. They cannot operate it from colombo

Rasika said...

Nik,
you are exactly correct. the same problem now there on 93.3Mhz since these frequency is allocated to both SLBC commercial service and Lak FM from Colombo and Nuwaraeliya

There is another news that SLBC is going to close their Radella transmitting station and there are going to set up new high power transmitting station in Pidurutalagala

Vasantham TV now on UHF 25 from Jaffna.
Vasantham FM on FM 97 from Jaffna

Kumar said...

Interesting story about TRC, In Jaffna, Shakthi Tv sister TV of Sirasa operating on UHF 25 from 2002, suddenly TRC gave this frequency to ITN, now both are operating both cann't be viewed.

Duffy said...

I just heard the Shakthi TV story on YES FM news...coward work by the TRC as always. Now the election is just around the corner, the government is trying to prevent all independent news and content from reaching Jaffna & the North. That's why they have given the frequency to the state run tamil channel 'Vasantham TV'. So people there only get to see one side of the story (probably government's propaganda material...)

ITN is on a hunting spree...First People's Media Netowrk/Radio 1 and now MBC. More to come...

Sad story for north people. Now, they can't watch No.1 local tamil Tv channel Shakthi TV. From 2003 onwards, they were watching Shakthi TV.

Now, all of sudden, TRC asked Shakthi TV to stop telecast for the north and given the same frequency to the Vasantham Tv (most of the tamil they do not watch this channel even in Colombo).

Nik said...

Guys, lets make a public appeal to TRC to continue Shakthi on UHF 25 and give new ch to ITN.

Air waves are public property and if any service carried on of some frequency for more than 1 year, they have right to remain on that.

ITN should immediately sieze transmission on UHF 25.

Newest Radio Station HITZ FM to beging from 1st FEB on 97.0.
Its owned by Lakshman Hulugalle
( SATH FM )

The office will be at location behind MTV/MBC, braybrooke place.

They are installing a high power relay station on top of JAIC Hilton.

Nik said...

97 is operational by SLBC from Nuwara Eliya. Sath FM cant operate it from colombo.

They havent been given permission to do that so either.

Why only Shakithi TV has been shutted down saying illegal frequency. Why not 97 FM from colombo ?

Rasika said...

SLBC has given green signal to use the 97Mhz band frequency to Hitz FM which is owned by Lakshman Hulugalle. Other than that SLBC has started using same frequency from Matale (karagahatenna) to broadcast Pirai FM to North & East.

Nik said...

Has TNL got permission/license to operate all these frequencies ????

Colombo - 93.9
Piliyandala - 88.1
Kandy - 93.7
Nuwara Eliya - 88
Ratnapura - 97.2
Badulla - 89
Deniyaya - 89
Karagahatenna - 89

Caressa Oorloff said...

Radio 1 website has been changed since there was a station to take its place. Just cause the other websites (Radio 2/TV 2) are there, doesn't mean it will be opened or those stations will come back. ITN bought all the frequencies,but those are on stand by till they need to us them for other purposes. There is no use taking off the website, when it can just be edited when needed.

Rasika said...

Nik,
It is really a question because TNL has got permission only to operate 89Mhz from Nuwaraeliya but they are using it from Karagahatenna, Deniyaya & Badulla.
Also with out any permission they have changed their Piliyandala frequency to 88.1Mhz (from 88Mhz). what they are telling is that 87.8Mhz (Real radio) is disturbing their 88Mhz frequency. Also they can,t use 88Mhz from Nuwaraeliya. Other frequencies are OK.

Sam said...

Is Hitz Fm On Testing ? I Cant Get Any Thing From Fm 97 .

Chander said...

According to latest trc FM frequency list they mentioned 93.4 is on operation for ABC networks. But i don't know which station running from 93.4 ??????

Chander said...

Also they didn't mention about the UHF frequencies of Voice Of Asia which are currently on operation. Why is that?

Sam said...

I Want To Know Some Thing . Long Time A Go Fm Mention That Thilanga Sumathipala Got A Licence And He Mention The Frequency Is 91.6 Fm .

But The Thing Is Thus New Channel Is Not Sumathi Fm Its New One

As We Know This Lakviru Radio And Television Network Is To Be Started From Gongala The Frequency Of The Channel Was 107 Fm .

Now These People Are The One Who Was Operating From Colombo

Lakviru Radio and Television Network (Private) Limited Colombo91.6 OPERATIONAL

Sam said...

What is This
Dialog Television (Pvt) Ltd Colomb9 UHF 50 OPERATIONAL

Nik said...

That is the DTT trail carried out by Dialog on UHF 50.

Rasika said...

After the election, Gotabaya has blamed Priyantha Kariyapperumea (DG - TRC) for helping SF in the election and the latter has given his resignation to the President. It is really ashamed that after taking all the frequencies (even from ABC) they have helped SF during the election. You can see the news in most of the Sunday sinhala news paper's political columns.

Kumar said...

Still SLBC Tamil National Service is not available in the Northern part of Sri Lanka, war ended 1 year back, as they are saying responsible state media, there is no action to broadcast Tamil National Service in Jaffna

Sam said...

There is a news about a new DTH platform in Sri Lanka in MPEG 4. Is this true ? does any one has more info ?

If this true, Dialog TV will have a good competition as they still with good old technology and the who ever comes with latest technology will have more and more services to offer at very cheap price.
