JAKARTA: People living in and around the city now have a wider
selection of news available on the radio with the launch of
Namlapanha news radio on 89.35 FM and 603 AM on Friday.

The radio is on air 18 hours a day with journalism-based
programs aimed at promoting freedom of the press, freedom of
thought and freedom of expression, Namlapanha director Santosa
said.

Besides Namlapanha, which is supported by 40 journalists in
the city and 50 correspondents across the country, there are also
several news radio stations in Jakarta, including Elshinta and
Jakarta News FM.

The new station was established following the success of the
68H radio news agency, which provides programs for 230 private
and state-owned radio stations throughout the country. It also
regularly supplies programs to Malaysia, the Netherlands,
Australia and East Timor.--JP
