Thanks.

rbharath - are the 3 - 4 pm & 5 - 6 pm slots in FM Gold only on special occasions or sure daily? All I got today was static. The Hindu also does not list those slots for FM Gold schedule for today.

i m sure FM Gold has carnatic music at 3 pm and 5 pm everyday. have heard umpteen such concerts myself. may be today was something else.

usually FM Gold is where all the live commentaries happen, be it cricket, football, hockey, ranji, some inauguration, some address, blah blah and anything else. so if u listen to the schedule at 6:55 am you will know when the concerts are.

rajumds, FM Gold does not broadcast from 12:12 am to 5:53 am or so. FM Rainbow has carnatic music from 2 am to 3 am and again from 4 am...

The 5.00 am nadaswaram recital everyday is from FM Rainbow. Mostly currentday performers but occasionally gems from Karukurichi, Rajarathnam etc.

Guess the problem was because of weak signal where i am at. whenever I am near the windows of my building I get clear reception of FM Gold but not if I move away from windows. Though I am able to get other channels. Life is simply not fair :-(
