Radio stations in India

312 stations, live.

India's radio landscape has two distinct sides. All India Radio, the public broadcaster also known as Akashvani, operates a vast network carrying news, regional programs and music in many languages, including the Hindustani and Carnatic classical traditions and folk music. Private FM stations, present in cities large and small, focus mainly on film songs, whether in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Bengali or other languages. Community radio stations, often run by educational institutions or local organizations, serve specific neighborhoods and villages. Moving from one state to another can mean an entirely different musical world, with its own film industry and song traditions.
