PPI Radio has gained immense popularity in a short period in the major cities of Pakistan. It has played a vital role in bringing comprehensive and appropriate information to our subscribers. We still need some time and some efforts to immensely affect the radio listening habit of people.
The success of any broadcast organization depends on the style presentation techniques‚ it has adopted. Therefore‚ the first and foremost demand of PPI Radio Service from its presenters is subject knowledge‚ language efficiency and vocabulary with communication skills and mannerism. The presenters of the channel have been provided these skills with extensive training and guidance by the experienced production team of PPI Radio.
The listeners give their feedback and have interaction through SMS service‚ e-mails and letters. The transmission of PPI Radio Service is also available on the web.
PPI Radio started broadcasting its regular transmission in February 2008. Initially, it starts 4 bulletins a day – 3.00p.m, 5.00p.m, 7.00p.m and 9.00p.m. From October 2009 PPI Radio increased its number of bulletins to 7 and within two months it reaches 10.
Meanwhile, PPI Radio started its Weekly news feature regarding any social or political issue of the country, in December 2009.
