Worldspace Radio - India is going off AIR
bharatjani
Dear customer,
On December 31, 2009, the WorldSpace satellite radio broadcast service
will be terminated for all customers serviced from India.
This action is an outgrowth of the financial difficulties facing
WorldSpace India’s parent company, WorldSpace, Inc., which has been
under bankruptcy protection since October 2008. The potential buyer
of much of WorldSpace’s global assets has decided not to buy the
WorldSpace assets relating to and supporting WorldSpace’s subscription
business in India. As a consequence, WorldSpace, Inc. must
discontinue its subscriber business in India. Your subscription
contract is with WorldSpace, Inc., a US company that is in a
bankruptcy proceeding in the United States. The company recognizes
that you may have paid for services to be rendered beyond the
termination date, but is not in a position to offer a refund for any
unused portion of your subscription.
You may have a potential remedy under the U.S. bankruptcy law. You may
file a claim under the claims procedure that is intended to protect
creditors of the bankrupt company. Sometime early next year, a claim
servicing company will send notice to all creditors listed by the
company. In order to ensure that you receive timely notice, we would
request that you send the following information by mail or email to
Rakesh Raghavan at WorldSpace, Inc. headquarters in the United States.
1. Name
2. Address
3. Email
4. Subscription Account Number
5. Date of Subscription
6. Length of Subscription
7. Amount paid for your current subscription
Send this information to: By email -- Customer...@worldspace.com

Our sincere apologies for this circumstance.

Strange. It is indeed sad that their HCM wing very soon became below
the average. Perhaps with the "niche"ness they were born, they would
certainly have done something better.

A beautiful source for excellent HCM ans KCM will be no more there.
Why doesn't the Indian Government start some thing on these lines.

Sarma.

fees three years ago, I was told that there was a free classical music
audio channel as a part of the bouquet. It never happened
I think the DTH guys might step into space sooner rather than later.
Till then I will have to make do with Bangalore 100.1 FM Radio
Amritavarshini. (I like the channel) Only thing is it's not 24 hrs.

I have Airtel DTH since 4 months, and they have one exclusive 24hrs
radio channel each for HCM and CCM. The HCM channel is called
"Gandharva", and the promos between tracks / programs say it's a
"Worldspace" presentation. The usual pitfalls are anyways there on
"Gandharva", such as large imbalance of instrumental to vocal (towards
instrumental), quality of artiste selection, very frequent repeats,
etc. But once in a while it is enjoyable.

Question is, does this mean that Airtel DTH will stop "Gandharva"?
