Akashavani Bhadravati, which went on air for the first time on February 7, 1965, is entering its 60th year on Wednesday. The major AIR station in the central part of the State has planned many programmes to mark its diamond jubilee.
AIR Bhadravati began in 1965 as a satellite station. In 1987, the station started to transmit its own programmes. Since then, it has been an integral part of people in Shivamogga, Chikkamagaluru, parts of Chitradurga, and Davangere districts. With a whole range of programmes over the years, the station has regular listeners who keep writing letters and sending messages to the station.
