Radio One Fm 94.3 - Masti Fataafat!

Phew! Has Life changed in the last 1 year OR WHAT!! After all change is the most inevitable constant isnt it?

Over the last 1 year there has been so many things that have changed in my life. Work and otherwise. Its been a while since I blogged, so ive always thought its ideal to blog when one has a new perspective to life... and a burden in his heart to share!

Ive Shifted Houses, Ive got my apprisals, Ive bought a new car, Ammu moved to Brazil, Mine and Ammu's marriage date has got tentatively fixed, Ive stopped partying (too much), I'm addicted to Skype, Ive travelled a lot, Ive become more spiritual, my roles at work have changed....

Yes, Im still With Radio One - Bangalore ... As Programming Manager. On May 15th this year I completed 1 year with this enterprise! That itself is no mean acheivement!!! (Especially for the wavering mind and lustful soul of a mad fella like me!!) So Congrats to Me! :)

After working in the private Radio Space for more than a year now, ive realised how government radio functions so differently! This last 14 months has taught me more about Radio than my 6 years with AIR.

The journey's been memorable and exciting and learning's been immense! Radio One has turned me from a Radio Baby to a Radio Teenager!! And hope im not as gawky as I think I am!

But This rule of Change that we were just peeping into obviously applies to Radio One too!
This is the age of fast food , fast money, fast cars and fast everything. Every research seems to indicate that radio is a ‘snacking’ medium, where the captive attention span of a listener on an average is only 20mins. To the ears of a click happy, remote wielding radio listener, the faster and smoother his listening experience is, the higher the chances of him staying tuned on. Stickiness today comes with a tag, and Radio one has its finger on what exactly ticks the listener.

Radio One prides itself on being the First station in the country to introduce a brand new format - the 20 minute Radio Experience. Today its all about "Quick Entertainment" Radio One invites its listeners to visit their Radio adda as a friend, to just hang around and get entertained for 20mins
Every 20mins Radio One has a DIFFERENT, innovative Segment
Backed with promotion, showcasing and production support, this new format promises to cater to all of the listeners’ needs.

If you are in Bangalore , Delhi, Mumbai you would be feeling the difference the minute you switch to this station! And it feels extremely proud to be part of this creative and path breaking revolutionary Radio Team!!!
Peep into the RadioOne website to know more about how Radio One is truly - Masti Fatafat

And thats exactly whats happend to my life too. Ive been given a New show. With the new format I guess it made sense to some people in the "boss" level to put me on air and pull in a different kind of listener (from what we already had)
So along with my Programming Manager responsibilities I'm Finally a daily On-Air Talent on a Private Network - Yippe!!

Anjaan..Radio ONE rocks and its my companion on the long drive back home from work and to work in the morning and I aint complaining..Thank god that you guys play HINDI tracks..YEAYYYYYYY

BTW I love Ghanta Singh and Chamrajpet Charles.....AWESOME

And I would like to tell Mr.Anon who has issues with Ghanta Singh....- The joke is not on the south indians but on MR Ghanta Singh himself....he is not belittling south indians or their lack of expertise over hindi..if you hear him speak to others, the humour is about taking a piss at someone and annoying him, calling him over the phone..to raise a few laughs....the poor unsuspecting person who receives Ghanta's phone might be a north indian as well...

Anon - Take a chill pill and relax...enjoy the fun....

holy sh*t

you know that you've hit the limelight big time when you have to post this at the end of your blog post

they say that if you stick to a celebrity you end up famous

can I get famous if I post this comment here?

Hey Anjaan,

The Twenty Minute format is a totally cool idea.

Since one doesn't get to listen to a lot of original interesting poetry these days, how about featuring it as a part of this new segment?

Oh god, the RJ's are so loud & jarring & irritatin..esplly sum channels like 92.7 ,93.etc ...

why cant they be subtle & true to themselves...i really luv RJ's on radioindigo...i think u suit well for indigo ...but i think u r the only pick among other FM channels...i have also seen u in sum parties in blore ,long back..

u shud write a blog on the art of RJ'ing ..
