Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">In Indian context the Community Radio has greater possibilities of creating impact on society. India being a country of villages and the rural people being dominantly engaged in different categories of employment, find it convenient to listen to the radio for both information and entertainment. Such a need can be effectively satisfied by the Community Radio stations.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:200%;tab-stops:49.55pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;&#10;mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Our study has focussed in understanding how many Community Radio stations are functioning in Karnataka state. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:200%;tab-stops:49.55pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;&#10;mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This kind of research may help research students as well as general public to know about the Community Radio stations in Karnataka.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
