AIR Chennai’s 80-year journey

Chennai | Monday | 21st May, 2018

Summary:

Outside the temporary pandal, Chettur shouted for the usher and asked him to apologise. The trouble is that the Sangit Vidwans refuse to accept the necessity for any measure of adaptation and persist in their contention that Indian music has already reached perfection. The Club was rescued from financial difficulties in 1927 by the Madras Municipal Corporation which ran it till AIR put down roots in Madras. The station had evolved from the first broadcasting service in India, V Krishnaswamy Chetty’s Madras Presidency Radio Club established in 1924. June next year will see All India Radio (AIR) Madras/Chennai celebrate its 80th birthday..
