Bangalore FMs

Chitra has a nice write up about Bangalore’s FMs. Below is her listing

Taken from her blog Returned to Bangalore
1. 91.1 - Radio City plays a mix of Hindi, Kannada and English music. I haven’t heard enough to comment about the RJs here. Official owner: Star TV
2. 91.9 - Radio Indigo is an English only station and plays different genres, including Rock, Pop, Hip-Hop, Rap, Jazz, and Dance. On weekends, the station includes internationally syndicated music charts, such as Casey Kasem’s American Top 20 and Ryan Seacrest’s American Top 40. Of the lot, the RJs here seem the most westernised. But, it is also true that this is the only station that is only English and very “American”. Official owner: Jupiter Capital (new group formed after the sale of BPL Mobile.)
3. 92.7 - Big 92.7 FM is a Kannada only station, I think. Official owner: Mid-Day Multimedia and BBC Worldwide venture(?)
4. 93.5 - S FM is a Kannada only station. Very hyper DJs, I must say! They want to sound ‘oh-so-cool’, but fail miserably. Official owner: SUN Network
5. 94.3 - Radio One offers a mix of Kannada and Hindi music. Official owner: ?
6. 98.3 - Radio Mirchi is a Hindi and Kannada station. Official Owner: Times of India Group
7. 100.1 - Amrutha Varshini is a channel exclusively for Indian classical music. It is a treat for all classical music lovers! This station is AIR’s effort to make available the rich treasure of its classical music archives. Official owner: All India Radio (AIR) ?
8. 101.3 - AIR FM Rainbow is run by the government’s All India Radio. It features Hindi and Kannada songs and occasional English songs along with hourly news in English, Kannada and/or Hindi. Personally, I like the RJs on Rainbow, mostly cause they are pretty down-to-earth and contemprory. No jazz, more me! Official owner: All India Radio (AIR)
9. 102.9 - Vividh Bharati Not very differnet from the Vividh Bharati of yester years. Official owner: All India Radio (AIR)
10. 105.6 - Gyan Vaani is an Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) station that is informative, but very boring. A typical olden days DD kind of set-up. Official owner: IGNOU
