NEW DELHI: Bengaluru's latest FM radio station, Mirchi 95 is going the Bollywood music way.
While Radio Mirchi's first frequency in Bengaluru, 98.3, airs Kannada content for the last 10 years. Mirchi 95 on the other hand, has the same tagline 'Mirchi sunnewale always khush', but the jock talk is Hinglish and the music is contemporary Bollywood.
A new jingle has been composed by Sachin-Jigar for the new station, but retains the tagline, Mirchi Sunnewale Always Khush!
The Bollywood connect is being extended with an upcoming concert by Bollywood heartthrob Arijit Singh. Lucky listeners will get to win free concert tickets, and a few of them will even get to meet Arijit Singh for a meet-n-greet. The event will be hosted by a Mirchi 95 jock. There are some surprises lined up at the venue as well, with Mirchi 95 expected to launch the official video of the new Sachin-Jigar jingle.
