One of the latest FM radios to hit bangalore is RADIO INDIGO @ 91.9 MHz. They call themselves the first international radio station in India. This means they are going after the market which listens to english music only. Still genre-unlimited though: Pop, Rock, Trance, 70s etc. Bangalore being the rock-capital of India, really needed this kind-off a channel. But why do we need to wait for 8 pm for the good rock songs ??

Radio Indigo is not new to the business. They had been broadcasting on Worldspace, the satellite radio. I was not into worldspace, so not commenting on that.

The good part for now is that, the ads are yet to creep in. “The color of music” punch-line is not really working though. It does not match “sakkat hot maga” of radio mirchi. The enthu level of the radio can be improved a bit, maybe with more interactive events.

My favorite shows are:

Weekdays:

7 am to 11 am, The Big breakfast, RJ Cindu Chandrashekaran (Great morning songs)
2 pm to 5 pm, Indigo Jukebox, RJ Ayesha D’souza (Good RJ, but rumoured to be sponsored by backstreet boys ;) )
8 pm to 12 am, Night Patrol, RJ Geoffrey Thomas (Classic & contemporary rock)

Saturday:

7am to 10am, Retro Rockets, RJ Tommy and Madhuri
3pm to 7pm, American Top 40, RJ Ryan Seacrest
