Panjab Radio UK - Thoughts

[Kau89r8]

New thread..but i've seen some make comments on Panjab Radio...

Panjab Radio has been on our household ever since i can remember . Over the years not so as much. 

Also heard they not transparent about their financials but they deny they always show their accounts and nothing to hide. It cost 6/7 figs to keep it running

Thoughts?

I dont know about their financed but they are a good Sikh oriented radio station along with Desi radio. The only thing I don't like is the desi snake oil quack 'doctors' they continually invite to give health advice. When will apne ever move away from this nonsense.

I vaguely recall one of the presenters got beaten up for doing nindya of a mahapurash. The argument wasn't philosophically inaccurate, but he presented it in a rather personal and uncouth way, lol.

I suppose I just hate the radio because, once a year the presenters sat there asking for money. It went on daily for 5 - 6 weeks! LITERALLY the whole show was about funds to keep radio running (I believe 100k kept it running for a year back in 2015)? 

Okay, other times, presenters were just being pure Desi folks and throwing out sad news or see a good news in negative light. What do you expect to hear on Vaisakhi day? "HAPPY VAISAKHI! Let's play some Punjabi music in this joyous occasion..." But Panjab Radio? "Happy Vaisakhi Ji... Pr appa lokh k karde aa? Aj Panjab wich aa kaand hogia... Sadi quam suthi py aa!" I mean why not leave such news for next day? ਸੜਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਰੇਡੀਓ, ਸੜੀ ਹੋਈ ਗੱਲਾ. 

Anyone listen to Sabras or any other Desi radio? Young, enthusiastic presenters, care-free, sohnia galla all the time. There is a time and day for elder presenters to come along and talk about pressing issues and matters relating back to our Homeland, India... Joyous occasion IS NOT that day. 

With the Grace of Akaal Purakh, the Bibi who listened to Panjab radio at work (hence I was forced to listen to it) got some senses smacked into her and she would listen to MP3 Kirtan in morning, Hindi songs later on instead of Panjab radio, FINALLY realising the kartoots of Panjab Radio and stopped listening to it.
