[cr-india] {CRF India} OfCom fines three CRs for earning too much

[Ashok Singh Sunhal]

Dear Sir,

The computation of expenses vary from Station to Station. In Indian
scenario, I don't know about the number of CR Stations earning too much !.

Few projects and few DAVP advertisements are the source of earning of most
of the CR Stations.

We are looking forward to the day when we hear that some station has done
so well commercially.
