MUMBAI: Mizoram capital Aizawl got its first independent FM station on 15 August.Named 'Zoawi'(meaning celebrating Aizawl), the station, launched by Prasar Bharati, is positioned 'for the masses'. This is the second time Mizos get to sample FM, as AIR has been running Lunglei, which airs All India Radio content in the FM band in the city of Lunglei.'Zoawi' will operate only for five hours a day, from 5 pm to 10 pm. The FM station has been made operational using a 3x2 KW old transmitter which was lying unused, say sources. RJs from Mizoram's main AIR station have been roped in to service the new radio station as well. The AIR main station was set up on year 1966. Full story at :
