Radio City Bangalore is India's first private FM radio station and was started on July 3, 2001. It launched with presenters such as Rohit Barker, Darius Sunawala, Jonzie Kurian and Suresh Venkat.

Over the years, the station had been steadily losing popularity with the launch of newer stations in Bangalore. The station has been criticized for multiple format changes and presenter lineup.
