[cr-india] Political Advertisements on Radio allowed - PIB press release

[Arti Jaiman]

Heard BJP's election ad on an FM channel just two days ago. I think they must have had it ready to air, and were just waiting for the official order. Fairly long.

Political Advertisements on Radio allowed
PIB Press Release, November 21, 2008

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has amended the All India
Radio Code allowing political advertisements. Accordingly, such
advertisements will be allowed to be carried on All India Radio. This
would include FM radio also since they too adhere to the AIR Code.
Such advertisement shall be subject to pre-broadcast scrutiny by the
Election Commission of India/authorities under the Election Commission
of India during the period when model code of conduct is in operation.

The relative order in this regard is available on Ministry of I&B
website i.e. www.mib.nic.in.
