India Radio Stations

All India Radio, now branded Akashvani, remains one of the world's largest broadcasters, transmitting in over twenty languages from Hindi and Tamil to Assamese. Private FM exploded after liberalization, with Radio Mirchi, Big FM, and Red FM built almost entirely on Bollywood film music, since private stations long could not air their own news. Vividh Bharati's film-song heritage and cricket commentary are national institutions.
