Radio Networking:

The following may change with the launching of India's new satellite
INSAT-2A recently. 

For feeding central Bulletins and National Hookup programs from studios in
Delhi to various outlying transmitters, transponders on INSAT (Indian
National Satellite )  are used.  A total of 12 radio chennels on INSAT-1D,
designated RN-1 to RN-6 are available for use by AIR(All India Radio).
All stations are provided with uplink and downlink facilities except
Aligarh and Bangalore, from which no programs originate.  The transmitters
ar Delhi ( Kingsway and Khampur ) are fed through speechgrade PTT landlines. 
Program feeds to other stations are uplinked from the earth stations at 
Broadcasting House itself.  Standby landlines also exist with most stations in
case of link failure.

The External Services Division ( ESD ) is also headquartered in Broadcating
House, New Delhi and produces programming in English, 9 Indian languages
and 15 foreign languages.  The external broadcasts in English are termed
as the General Overseas Service ( GOS ).  The news and current affairs 
programmes for the ESD are supplied by the News Services Division.  

The programme wing runs a Central Monitoring Service at Ayanager, in
the outskirts of Delhi, where newscasts of major international broadcasts are
monitored, translated and transcribed for use by the News Services
Division and the Ministry of External Affairs.
