Worldspace is in a much higher quality level (quality of content) than FM stations. FM stations give you the latest popular numbers if you prefer local or Hindi filimy
music. That is all. Worldspace is full recipie. Actually, there is no comparison. Both cater to completely different sphere.
I think you are gravely mistaken here. Have you heard or listened to Power 107.8 FM ? Its one of the best...in fact the BEST FTA FM station I have ever come across. They play the latest Hindi and International music for your information. In fact in an hour, if they play 5 Hindi tracks, then they will play atleast 4 international tracks in the same hour and the latest tracks only. And the best part of Power FM is that, there is little or NO TALKS in this station. Yes...Its true. It is the only FTA FM to offer more music and no chit-chat. I mean the RJs here just announce the name of tracks and their respective albums/films, which I feel is completely OK and very much needed.
Secondly, Power FM is the only expection. All other FM stations does not air any international music and to top it off, much of the air time is filled with chit-chat from the RJs which I hate the most, be it Red FM, Meow FM, Big FM, Friends FM, Radio One, etc. In fact the worst is Radio Mirchi...Gosh...The RJ there talks so much....I literally get pissed off with it, they play may be just 3 or 4 songs in an hour. But Power FM is totally different. It rocks. I think you should give it a try, if it is available in your city.
On a third note, thanks for putting in your voice in this thread. International music is the only weakness which might make me subscribe to WS once again. Lets see..what happens.
