MUMBAI: Dedicated to the fast growing FM radio and music industries in India, Radioandmusic.com has over the past five years succeeded in guiding music aficionados and industry honchos through the rapid growth in these sectors.

A part of the Indiantelevision Dot Com group, the dedicated online portal provides its readers with daily news updates, interviews, analyses and also serves as a meeting platform for executives and creative people from both sectors. The site commenced on 15 August 2007 has over the years, quenched the thirst for information through its daily newsletter, The RadioandMusic Linx, and a weekly The Radioandmusic Reporter, that caters to a database at 60,000 currently and is growing at a rapid rate.

In its fifth year, the site has undertaken a new initiative to lend a first-hand overview to its readers by industry leaders themselves.

Commenting on the fifth anniversary celebrations, Indiantelevision Dot Com and Radioandmusic.com founder and CEO Anil Wanvari said, "The industry has enthusiastically responded to the efforts of Radioandmusic.com to be a useful resource for them. We are delighted to be celebrating our fifth anniversary, and the team here decided what better way to do it over the next few months than by inviting industry professionals to come and celebrate it with us as guest editors. I doff my hat to Soumini who is running a pioneering initiative herself in Artistaloud.com for coming on board as the first guest editor. We hope that the industry will find our initiative as interesting, exciting and fun as the team is finding it."
