E FM signal being jammed

Reports indicate that areas such as Ja Ela are experiencing a signal jam on 100.4 FM. Listeners of E FM are complaining of not being able to receive the station properly. According to information the jam is due to a sinhala language station broadcasting on the same frequency which we believe is broadcasting from kalutara and they are overstepping their boundaries.

The TRC which is apparently aware of the situation is not taking any steps to rectify the problem which is aggravating the situation further.

We are not sure what are the policies of the TRC and the Media Ministry on frequency allocation but it seems that the frequency allocation policy is gathering dust in some dust bin at both organisations or being overlooked to cater to the interests of certain people.

We urge the management of Colombo Communications to take necessary action and enable their listeners to enjoy the transmission without these disturbances otherwise they will end up losing their listeners. We also urge the TRC and the Media Ministry to immediately order the management of the sinhala language station to stick to their broadcasting boundaries or issue a new frequency to them.
