MUMBAI: The year appears to have begun with radio stations keen to exploit the Net space. While Big FM had taken the lead in the space by beginning podcast of select shows from its Bangalore station late last year, the Bhaskar group's My FM followed last week by commencing podcast of all its stations.

Big FM is the first in Hyderabad to offer podcast of its shows, says a release. Among the mix that is available on the website is audio content from various shows including jokes, celebrity interviews, pranks and a whole lot of fun programs as Podcast which can be accessed by anyone from anywhere in the world, through the internet. Netizens can log on to www.big927fm.com and download the audio file to listen to it on the computer or download it on their IPod using ITunes.
