In terms of the number of languages transmitted, the range of socioeconomic variety it serves, and the size of its broadcasting organisation, Akashvani is the largest radio network in the world. AIR's home service comprises 420 stations located across the country, reaching nearly 92% of the country's area and 99.19% of the total population. originates programming in 23 languages and 179 dialects.[4]

'Akashavani' was also used in the context of radio by M. V. Gopalaswami in 1936 after setting up India's first private radio station in his residence, "Vittal Vihar" (about two hundred yards from AIR's current Mysore radio station).[7] Akashvani was later given as All India Radio's on-air name in 1957; given its literal meaning in Sanskrit, it was believed to be a more than suitable name for a broadcaster. The name "Akashwani" was suggested by very famous poet Pandit Narendra Sharma.

Broadcasting began in June 1923 during the British Raj with programmes by the Bombay Presidency Radio Club and other radio clubs. According to an agreement on 23 July 1927, the private Indian Broadcasting Company Ltd (IBC) was authorized to operate two radio stations: the Mumbai station which began on 23 July 1927, and the Kolkata station which followed on 26 August 1927. The company went into liquidation on 1 March 1930. The government took over the broadcasting facilities and began the Indian State Broadcasting Service (ISBS) on 1 April 1930 on an experimental basis for two years, and permanently in May 1932 it then went on to become All India Radio on 8 June 1936.[2]

On 1 October 1939, the External Service began with a broadcast in Pashto. It was intended to counter radio propaganda from Germany directed at Afghanistan, Iran and Arab nations. 1939 also saw the opening of the Dhaka station of Eastern India, in what is now Bangladesh. This station catered and nurtured the pioneers of Bengali intellectuals. The foremost among them, Natyaguru Nurul Momen, became the trail-blazer of the talk-show in 1939. He wrote and directed the first modern radio-play for this station in 1942.

When India became independent in 1947, the AIR network had only six stations (Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Lucknow, and Tiruchirappalli). The three radio stations at Lahore, Peshawar and Dhaka remained in what became Pakistan after the division. The total number of radio sets in India at that time was about 275,000.

On 3 October 1957, the Vividh Bharati Service was launched, to compete with Radio Ceylon. Television broadcasting began in Delhi in 1959 as part of AIR, but was split off from the radio network as Doordarshan on 1 April 1976.[9] FM broadcasting began on 23 July 1977 in Chennai, and expanded during the 1990s.[10]

Deccan Radio (Nizam Radio 1932), the first radio station in Hyderabad State (now Hyderabad), went live on air on 3 February 1935. It was launched by Mir Osman Ali Khan the seventh Nizam of Hyderabad with a transmitting power of 200 Watts. On 1 April 1950, Deccan Radio was taken over by the Indian Government, and in 1956 it was merged with All India Radio (AIR). Since then, it has been known as AIR-Hyderabad (100 kW).[11]

The External Services Division of AIR is a link between India and rest of the world, especially in countries with Indian emigrants and Indian diaspora. It broadcasts the Indian point of view on matters of national and international importance, and demonstrates the Indian way of life through its programs. QSL card (which are sought-after by international radio hobbyists) are issued to radio hobbyists by AIR in New Delhi for reception reports of their broadcasts.

Direct-to-home (DTH) service is a satellite broadcast service in which a large number of radio channels are digitally beamed down over a territory from a high-power satellite. AIR broadcasts various national and regional stations available to listen on DD Free Dish. The DTH signals can be received directly at homes using a small-sized dish receiver unit containing a dish antenna installed on a building's rooftop or on a wall facing clear south and one indoors.[17] DTH service is offered on twenty one channels via Insat.

There is a long tradition of broadcasting documentary features on AIR. There is great interest in radio documentaries, particularly in countries like India, Iran, South Korea and Malaysia. The most prominent broadcaster of English Features was Melville de Mellow, and of Hindi Features, Shiv Sagar Mishra. This format has been revived by AIR producers across India because of its flexibility, its relative low cost to produce, its messaging potential and its creative potential.

I saw a post regarding how people from Radio Mirchi are leaving and joining Goppo Mir-er Thek. Radio Mirchi was & somewhat still is a integral part of my life. And I somewhere predicted this earlier. I reminisce the old mirchi days those were the peak of radio mirchi. Mir, Deep, Indrani, Sree, Ayantika, Riya, Godhuli, Somak, Agni, Atri, Richard and the last 5 consisting of Pushpal, Sayak Lajvanti, Mohor & Debasmita. These people were peak. The downfall started when they stopped their own hit shows Notout from 11:30AM. The afternoon show after the refreshing Hi Kolkata was the best show to remember the golden 90s era. Then after that Somak-Agni show after that the evening show by Deep & Ayantika from 5-9PM and ending with Coffee House classics with Mirchi Riya. The PEAK Radio Mirchi era. Riya was the first to leave and go to 104.8 Ishq FM. Then Sree left to pursue her acting career, then Deep retired from live shows, then Ayantika left, followed by Indrani, then Mir and now Somak & Godhuli. The worst thing they did was to replace Coffee House classics with that Dating show by Radio Mirchi Delhi. I don't think that show particularly caters to the Bangla audience. I travel with my father at night and I don't find that show comfortable at all when I'm traveling with my parent even tho he's very much casual with me. But I feel there is a boundary that shouldn't be crossed. In that show they discuss hookups, sex life, love live, etc I don't have any problem with it at all but I don't find it comfortable so please don't take it otherwise.

KOLKATA: A two-storied non-descript house at 57/8 Ballygunge Circular Road, a stone's throw away from the Tripura royal palace in the heart of this city, stands mute witness to an operation in the run-up to the 1971 war that gave the Bangladesh government-in-exile a radio station to broadcast 'hope' to its beleaguered people facing genocide by the Pakistan Army.

Fifty years ago, on this day, a motley group of singers, poets and radio broadcasters made their way to the rented house, where a makeshift studio and dormitory for the artistes had been set up. The day was chosen in part because it was the birthday of the man who would become Bangladesh's national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam.

Till a week after Dhaka was freed, this house on a lane off the main Ballygunge Circular Road, was headquarters and sole transmitting radio station for Swadhin Bangla Betar (Free Bangladesh Radio), broadcasting news bulletins, plays, songs and 'above all hope' for a beleaguered people.googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-8052921-2'); });

The clandestine radio station had been first set up at Kalurghat in Chittagong on March 26, soon after the arrest of Sheikh Mujib, leader of Bangladeshs freedom movement and the start of a genocide by the Pakistani Army through an operation codenamed 'Searchlight'.

It relocated from there to Agartala after Kalurghat was shelled by Pakistani Sabre jets and finally came to Kolkata where it was joined by a large number of Bangladeshi radio programmers, newscasters, poets, singers and journalists.

"Both the provisional Bangladeshi government and our authorities felt a radio station was needed to carry on psychological warfare over the airwaves and to keep up the morale of comrades in Bangladesh. This Kolkata station was obviously the result of that belief," said retired IPS officer Shantanu Mukherjee, former National Security Advisor to Mauritius and an analyst on South Asian affairs.

Said Syed Kawsar Jamal, a former All India Radio, Kolkata, broadcaster and radio historian, "Akashvani Kolkata radio station helped with technical support. Our own broadcasters like Debdulal Bandopodhyay were already making history by recording tales of atrocities from survivors who made it to the border."

"News broadcasts, radio shows like Chorompotro (The ultimate letter) by MR Akhtar Mukul which lampooned the Pakistani army and politics and Jallader Darbar (The hangman's court), a series of satires on Pakistan's military dictator General Yahya Khan by Kallyan Mitra and of course the songs we recorded were our staples," said Professor Arup Ratan Chowdhury, who worked and slept at the station in a dormitory since his escape from East Pakistan.

"The legacy of this radio station which I feel should be turned into a museum by the Indian and Bangladeshi government, is that it gave hope to a whole nation going through a long dark night," said Chowdhury. 2351a5e196
