NEW DELHI: The popular Vividh Bharati channel of All India Radio (AIR) in Mumbai is now available on FM mode on 102.8 MHz.
The FM Transmitter for this service was inaugurated by Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Rajyavardhan Rathore in Worli, Mumbai.
The channel, which was until now on Medium Wave, has been very popular over the past 50 years but saw a downfall in listenership with the coming in of the Frequency Modulation (FM), which is also available in car radios and mobile phones.
The inaugural function yesterday was attended by a galaxy of mediapersons, cultural luminaries, eminent personalities from Bollywood and broadcasting including actors Vikram Gokhale, Jackie Shroff, Brijbushan and Vishwas Mehendale. Amin Sayani, who has been credited for the popularity of this channel with his vibrant voice and his knowledge about music, was also present.
VB Mumbai transmission begins at 05:55 AM and goes up to 11:30 PM. This service is in addition to the two existing FM services of AIR namely FM Gold and FM Rainbow. A dedicated 5 KW transmitter has been installed for the VB Service in Mumbai.
