I have been listening to Vividh Bharati(VB)for years.It is the most neat and clean radio service I have ever heard and has rare collection of songs, interviews and recordings.These folks are celebrating their golden jubilee this year.Just imagine a radio station running for last 50 years and these babies like Radio mirchis are nothing in front of them in quality as well as collections.
VB starts at 5.55 am with programmes like Vandanvar and Bhakti sangeet.Soon it breaks out into news at 8 am and later on phone in programmes and film songs based shows which are from local VB stations.
It stops at 11am and resumes at 12 pm with suhana safar, recent series which features music directors.After that mostly request based, favorite evergreen songs and classical music show Anuranjani comes followed by ladies show Sakhi saheli.
The most admired shows are under Pitara which features health show Sehatnama, sargam ke sitare, hamare mehman and celluloid ke sitare which showcase singers, filmstars etc.It again stops at 5.30pm and starts again at 6.15 pm featuring shows for soldiers that is jaimala, much famous drama series hawamahal and very endearing Chhayageet.It ends with aap ki farmaish at 11pm.VB has lately become 24 hours on short wave, but I wish it becomes 24 hrs on medium wave too and hopefully FM too in smaller cities.
Announcers like Kamal sharma and Mamta Singh have great voices.They have so many announcers and everyone is great from Nimmi Mishra to Renu Bansal to name a few.
I hope VB goes another 100 years like this and these guys are highest on radio popularity ratings.Truly, its a listener's delight.
Thanks for reading my review.
