FM radio stations, satellite radio and television channels are major avenues for the growth of the music industry. Much of the programming on FM radio channels, like AIR's 'Vividh Bharti', is dedicated to music, primarily to film music. This is equally true of round-the-clock music channels on television. But besides the dedicated music channels, television programming on all 'General Entertainment Channels' in the various Indian languages includes several music-based genres. 'Talent Hunt' programmes focused on singing, dancing and acting are based largely on Indian film music. One of the channels organised a Talent Hunt programme called 'Popstars' which involved the nationwide search for a five member all-girl band of singers. Called 'Viva', the winning band of girls released two albums. In a similar vein a music project called, 'The Underground' was conducted by Saregama India in Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata in 1980 to select 30 music performers (Bands, Artistes and DJs).
