SVBC is available on cable TV connections like Hathaway, TataSky, Airtel etc. I do not know the equivalents in Chennai.
It comes in the cluster of "religious" channels.

Oh! You can tell that I am completely ignorant about TV channels, as I just don't watch it.

I have put the BVB date in my diary. If I can I will go there on Tuesday.

While on the subject of Nadaneerajanam, here is another invitation to listen to our Forum member Ahiri, Ranjani Sivakumar performing there on Friday 18 April. She is currently student of Dr Pantula Rama and earlier student of NS Srinivasan (Flute Mali's disciple), Seetha Narayanan and Sethalapati Balasubramaniam (Papanasam Sivan's disciple).

Sri Poorna Pragna Rao sings beautifully. Voice is very much like his father Vidvan SS Rao. He once sang in my house.

[munirao2001]

Nick.H.,
Whenever time permits, I watch only TV channels like DDBharathi and SVBC telecasting Indian Classical Music-Hindusthani and Karnatik and rarely Indian classical dances programme. SVBC is always a live telecast. It is the only channel, besides DD channels give opportunity to all the artists with AIR gradings. You will be surprised and also dismayed with the event organizers decision and actions of ignoring and not supporting artists of great merits who have performed in this programme.
SVBC also has few more programme supporting Indian classical music and dance-interviews, thematic presentation, special programme on the composers and competition for the upcoming artists.
