SLBC re-launches English Commercial Service

A veteran broadcaster and Chairman of the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation Hudson Samarasinghe instructed to re-launch English Commercial Service of the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation to provide additional valuable hours for their listeners.
According to Mr.Samarasinghe the re launching of the English service would commence from 1st of September.
Earlier SLBC management has reduced local programmes of the English Commercial service and allocate more time belt for the BBC World Service.
Mr.Samarasinghe has mediated with the BBC management and later reduced BBC time belt , which were used to broadcast BBC daily programmes .
Due to this decision local listeners could listen to more programmes , music and other entertainment programmes.
“It will once again resume its pristine glory. Programmes like Breakfast drive, Classic gold, Bright Spot, Your choice in music, Hits of the past will be aired, said Mr.Samarasinghe. .
Existing Programmes have been re-vamped and new programmes will be added to the channel. At present Sri Lanka has a number of English Radio Channels. However the English service has continued to receive a good response from listeners, he explained.
