Red FM (India)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Red FM is an Indian FM radio brand, with stations broadcasting at 93.5 megahertz in the cities of Mumbai, Delhi, and Kolkata. It was launched in 2002, playing a mix of Hindi and English songs. However, the programming is now almost exclusively Hindi.

The channel is owned by a consortium of Hyderabad-based IT company Value Labs, Indian broadcaster NDTV, and Malaysian broadcaster Astro. The consortium acquired Radio Today (Mumbai) Broadcasting Ltd, Radio Today (Delhi) Broadcasting Ltd and Radio Today (Calcutta) Broadcasting Ltd from India Today promoter Living Media in January 2006. Their punchline is 'Bajate Raho', while in Mumbai and Delhi, the tagline is "Super Hits 93.5 Red-FM". The most widely broadcast shows include "Morning No.1", "Dilse", "Jeena Ka Funda", "Lamhe", "Mera Wala Gana", "RDX" and "Nomoshkar Kolkata".
