BBC – India Bol: BBC Hindi audiences have their say Posted: 23 Oct 2009 03:05 AM PDT BBC Hindi audiences can now speak out on issues that affect their lives in a special weekly live programme, BBC – India Bol. Broadcast every Tuesday, the new 30-minute programme is a platform for millions of listeners and online users, who tune in to BBC Hindi radio and access the programmes via bbchindi.com, to share their views. BBC – India Bol is modelled on World, Have Your Say, the multimedia interactive programme on BBC World Service and now also on BBC World News television. Amit Baruah, Head of BBC Hindi, comments: "The philosophy behind BBC – India Bol is to lend a voice to our listeners and their concerns and interests. "We put technology available to us to optimum use to make the programme as open as possible, so our audiences can participate by phone and emails and leave their comments on the programme blog on bbchindi.com. "It is an example of how we engage our audiences in a global conversation by offering them a platform for interactivity and real-time response." One of BBC – India Bol's presenters, BBC Hindi's Rupa Jha, adds: "This is also an excellent platform to make the audience part of our editorial call, and we invite them to come up with the topic for discussion. "With people across the country telling us what they want us to talk about, BBC – India Bol gives us a fantastic opportunity to feel the pulse of the country. This is what has made the programme high on demand, and the free number has made it accessible to the most remote parts of India." To contribute their comments, listeners can either call a 24-hour free number 1800-11-7000 to record their messages – or call in to the live programme between 8.00pm and 8.30pm India Standard Time on Tuesdays. They can also log on the special BBC – India Bol section on bbchindi.com to share their opinion on the weekly theme. As listeners share their views on radio, a 'live text' with transcripts of their opinions is simultaneously uploaded on the programme page on bbchindi.com.

RTÉ announces long-terms plans for Donnybrook site Posted: 21 Oct 2009 07:31 PM PDT RTÉ has announced long-term plans for the redevelopment of its Donnybrook site. The project envisages the gradual replacement over a 10-15 year period of most of the current 1960 and 1970s buildings on the Donnybrook site with a purpose-built modern building complex designed for the digital and High-Definition age. The timing of RTÉ's announcement has been determined by Dublin City Council's planned preparation and consideration of a new Dublin City Development Plan. This requires that RTÉ, in common with other major landowners in the city, present its long-term observations at this time. Project 2025, a redevelopment proposal, that is the result of detailed analysis and planning carried out since 2002, has been discussed with local members of the city council in advance of the review of all council area land zonings that begins in October. Subject to planning approval, the phased development is intended to begin with new high definition (HD), digital TV and new digital Radio studios and to culminate in a wing incorporating further production areas, rehearsal and performance spaces and staff offices. The plan has evolved through a full review of all options for the renewal of RTÉ's production base and capital facilities. Speaking today, RTÉ Director- General, Cathal Goan said: "Rapid change in production and broadcast technology obliges us to plan and provide for the future. Clearly this is not an ideal time to be announcing a large proposed construction project. But to remain competitive and to continue to give Irish viewers, listeners and web users the best possible services, we have to invest in new facilities built for the digital age. "RTÉ has considered carefully the best way to upgrade and develop our broadcast production and transmission facilities while continuing to stay on air. We are confident that the most cost effective, sustainable and technically robust option available is to re-configure our existing site and incorporate all facilities into a single new building. "This proposal clearly sets out RTÉ's intention to remain a key provider of multi-media services to the Irish public for many years to come." Given the planning process and the current prevailing economic conditions RTÉ does not anticipate that any construction work on the site could start before 2012. Discussion will take place with local residents' groups as an integral part of the planning process. RTÉ will make an application for a 10-year planning consent for the new building development on Friday 9 October. Further details will be available at that stage. (Press Release)
