Radio Pakistan “facing Rs2000 million deficit”: DG PBC
HYDERABAD: Radio Pakistan is “facing deficit of over Rs2,000 million and needs funds to improve its vital services,” says Director General, Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation PBC Murtaza Solangi.
Addressing news conference here on Saturday, he urged civil society and media to extend full support in making Radio Pakistan a financially viable and efficient national institution.
He said proposal of raising funds for Radio Pakistan by imposing levy of two percent on mobile phone cards has been floated to bring PBC out of financial crunch. Solangi said if proposal is approved by the parliament in new Federal Budget for fiscal year 2012-13 it would help Radio Pakistan to upgrade its services and improve quality of programs.
He said Radio is “hot media, has a fast and wide access to the masses in remote and far flung areas of the country compared to any other source of information and communication.”
