I got a letter yesterday from Thomas P John:

Dear Dave, Listening to the file http://primco.org/media/sounds/01_india/alleppey_newscast.mp3 , I couldn't help but send you the english translation. Here it is:

<...> Comments, Background music
[...] Not present in original text. Aids comprehension in English
(...) Explanation of terms

It is not a radio broadcast. But a recorded promotion (+ jingle ;-) from a Lottery vendor's tape recorder + battery + loud speaker combination.

voyeurs of the world, give something back!
