MUMBAI: Sun TV Network's subsidiary South Asia FM Ltd has launched its radio station in Bhubaneshwar. The station is also available in Cuttack.

The new addition takes the total number of South Asia FM's stations to eight with its earlier existence in Chennai, Coimbatore, Tirunelveli, Visakhapatnam, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Jaipur.

With the tagline Jhoomo Jameiki Jhommo (meaning dance with passion), the Orissa edition will have fun cheeky programmes which will reflect and cater to the local mass.

SFM, project head Neha Narayanan informs that the station will have 80 per cent Bollywood and 20 per cent Oriya content, strictly following the contemporary hits radio (CHR) format.

She says," On the same fabric of the other SFM stations, Bhubaneshwar will be localised in its content with more interactive shows and on-ground activities. We are the voice of the people which caters to the youth."


The station will give away gold coins to every listener for one week.

Shows like Guru Ho Jaa Shuru, Lift Karade, astro-based show Yeh Tara Woh Tara, battle of sexes Hum Tum Ka Panga, evening shows Recharge and Masti Ka Pathsala and the late night show Love Ka Kidda are the USP of the stations, says Narayanan.

The company holds licences for 45 FM Radio Stations across India, and will be one of the largest radio broadcasters in India when all the remaining 37 stations becomes operational.
