http://antairraves.blogspot.com/2007/11/deepavali-and-unity.html
Monday, November 19, 2007. Sunday November 18, 2007. AIR RAVES By ANTHONY THANASAYAN. THE muhibbah spirit was very much present on the airwaves during the recent Deepavali celebrations. To start with, RTM’s Traxx fm ran a message from MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu who took the opportunity to touch on national unity. The station must have repeated the brief statement a number of times that Deepavali day on Nov 8. I caught it just before 9pm. The other plus point about Minnal was the youngish-soun...

Air Raves: Hollow- een!
http://antairraves.blogspot.com/2007/11/hollow-een.html
Sunday, November 11, 2007. Sunday November 11, 2007. AIR RAVES BY ANTHONY THANASAYAN. WHAT did you do on Halloween recently? For those of us who were too broke to attend parties in devil costumes on that eerie night of Oct 31 but still hoping for some frightful fun, it was a disaster as far as our radio stations were concerned. On television there were at least some horror flicks to watch. But on radio, not even a werewolf’s howl was heard. The Voice of America (VOA) was spot-on about Halloween, which is...

THE Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations over the Oct 13-14 weekend saw stiff competition among many of our radio stations vying to be the best broadcaster for festive programming. However, I do not think any of them succeeded in winning the hearts of listeners as effectively as IKIM.fm from Kuala Lumpur did. Traxx fm gathered the deejays of its various programmes to extend their personal Ra...
