World Service statement on Ö÷²¥´óÐã Hindi
On 26 January the Ö÷²¥´óÐã announced the closure of its news and current affairs radio output in Hindi, as part of the outcome of its Spending Review 2010 settlement.
Since the announcement, there has been much public discussion of the potential for retaining some of this service and the Ö÷²¥´óÐã has been approached by a number of commercial parties with alternative funding proposals.
In order to explore these proposals further, Ö÷²¥´óÐã World Service has decided to retain an evening news and current affairs radio broadcast (1 hour) in Hindi for our Indian audiences for an interim period. This broadcast will be available on all platforms – via SW, online and mobile.
If sustainable commercial funding for this service cannot be found during the 2011/12 financial year, we regret that it will then have to close by March 2012.
