The *Times of India* report on *World Radio Day* in the former Portuguese
Indian territory of Goa

A few radio enthusiasts nostalgic about the glorious days when their
short-wave radio sets shaped their lives debated at an interactive session
on myriad ways to revive the medium.

"Radio programmes can be aired to listeners at Goa's bus stands, markets,
parks and beaches. Educational institutions and NGOs can use radio to
highlight social issues," Roland Martins, coordinator of Friday Balcao, the
fortnightly discussion event said.

of audience and other factors have seen a downturn in the number of radio
sets in Goan homes being used. The medium is trying to adapt to 21st
century changes and challenges, especially from television.

"We grew up listening to the radio when newspapers and other entertainment
was not easily available. They say audio is a poor cousin of the video, but
I feel radio is a very powerful medium. In video, you get everything
readymade, but in audio you have to imagine," Frederico Noronha, a
journalist and radio enthusiast, said.
