Rajya Sabha
A 20 KW MW Radio Station at Sambalpur has already been upgraded to 100 KW MW Station to provide adequate radio coverage in Sambalpur and neighbouring districts of Sundargarh, Jharsuguda, Sonapur, Bolangir and Bauda. No proposal for setting up of additional AIR Stations has been received by All India Radio from the Orissa Government in the recent past.
The existing 50 KW Short Wave Transmitter at Jeypore in Orissa provides coverage to the entire state of Orissa. Shortwave signals are not prone to obstruction like hills, hillocks etc.
This information was given by Minister of Information & Broadcasting and Culture, Shri S. Jaipal Reddy in written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.
