Geeta PadmanabhanWith Thendral, a special radio channel for and by women in Chinna Nilangarai
Since January 2017, some 400 fisherwomen at Chinna Nilangarai Kuppam, off ECR, have added a detail to their morning routine. At 10.30 am, they switch on their radios to Thendral (91.2 MHz) for their favourite programme, Magale Unakkaga (This one's for you, daughter!). The signature song led by R Jayanthi wafts in, followed by a standard introduction and the programme is on. Those who miss it tune in just after lunch, or at 8 pm — the time slots preferred by most women and girls who form the bulk of the show's listeners.
