Chennai, Sept 16: 'Thenkachi' K Swaminathan, radio and TV personality and a pioneer in agricultural programme broadcasting, died at a private hospital here today.
Swaminathan (63) died of "extensive heart attack", doctors who attended on him told PTI.
He is survived by his wife and a daughter.
A former Assistant Director in All-India Radio, Chennai, Swaminathan popularised the farmers programme of the public broadcaster and was popular among radio listeners for his "Indru Oru Thagaval," (The Daily Info) on AIR, a five minute show in which he talked about day-to-day life, spicing them with an anecdote or simple stories to send across a message.
'Thenkachi,' as he was known among listeners, hosted 'Indru Oru Thagaval' for about 15 years continuously on AIR, making him an instant celebrity in the days when AIR reigned supreme in the absence of FM radio and satellite TV channels.
Swaminathan was hosting a similar show on Sun TV, owned by DMK's Maran-brothers, titled "Indha Naal Iniya Naal" (Its a Good Day Today). He has also penned stories.

தமிழ் தாய் வாழ்த்து

Invocation to Goddess Tamil
Bharat is like the face beauteous of Earth clad in wavy seas;
Deccan is her brow crescent-like on which the fragrant 'Tilak'
is the blessed Dravidian land.

Like the fragrance of that 'Tilak' plunging the world in joy
supreme reigns Goddess Tamil with renown spread far and wide.

Praise unto You, Goddess Tamil, whose majestic
youthfulness, inspires awe and ecstasy.

"Manonmaniam" P. Sundaram Pillai
