Inspiration

Radio Mirchi, Bollywood filmi geeton ka sangam, is a community radio program that goes on air every Thursday from 7pm to 10pm. The idea of broadcasting Hindi music was developed from the keen desire to have a radio station which is truly Hindi radio. The host has high standards of Hindi language and the radio can be enjoyed by the whole family together. One of the hidden intentions for the radio is to develop the love for Hindi language in the new generation.

Through various sections during the three hours of broadcast, Radio Mirchi tries to cater to the music choice of all age groups. The intention of the radio program is to service the Indian community and consequently it is a not-for-profit venture.

The listners are the inspiration of the program. Radio Mirchi is encouraged by the appreciation from the members of the community. We hope to grow with the support from our listeners.
