According to him, multi-platform radio and television can reach a wider audience, not only radio lovers but also young people.
"Young people already listen to digital radio, and it is already multi-platform. After broadcasting, (news) can actually be channeled through social media, so the public can get information from anywhere. It must be contemporary, and the interaction space for young people must be provided," he explained.
He said that he will support and assist in the development of multi-platform radio and TV.
