History is made as Dadeldhura gets first radio station
History was made in the western Nepali town of Dadeldhura yesterday (Saturday 14th June 2008) when Aafno Radio, or “My Radio” 104.8 FM, went on air at 7pm local time for two hours. This is the town’s first community radio station. Congratulations to the team for pulling this off so quickly after the workshop in May.

Dadeldhura is the first community radio station which is part of the CoRIN network (Community Radio Initiatve for Nepal) linked to the work of HDCS (Human Development and Community Services).

This is great news and a cause for great rejoicing. One down four to follow!
Yes, this is indeed great news for Nepal! Thank you for sharing it. Just a point of clarification though, did this broadcast occur on Saturday, 14 June or Sunday, 15 June? It seems your entry above does not accurately match the day and the date according to the 2008 calendar. And in the interest of historical accuracy, it should be recorded correctly, right?
