In the background of fast
moving events around the world, it was felt that the audience needed to be kept
informed with the latest events. For this purpose a News and Current Affairs
Channel (NCAC) was launched on April 18, 2001. It was the only channel of its
kind in Asia.
NCAC IS THE ONLY UNIT BESIDES FM 101, WHICH IS DIGITIZED.
The Channel provides its listeners seven hours of programmes of views on current
subjects, through analysis commentaries and discussions, along with regular News
Bulletins, Sports News, Business Updates and Stock Market Reports. A network of
