New radio station in town…
Radio24, the first all-news radio station in the country, is expected to play a role in fulfilling the needs of the people to receive not only information, but valid information.
Information Minister Zainuddin Maidin said the 24-hour radio station, run by Bernama, began transmission today and would play an important role in providing actual and current news and information to the public “who crave for information”.
For the first phase, Radio24 will be available only in the Klang Valley, which is home to four million people, before the service is expanded nationwide in the second phase. [Bernama]
I have a feeling that the radio station will be yet another propaganda machine by the BN government. Besides, ‘valid information’ is a joke… it simply means information that the government wants the people to know.
