HINDI RADIO
Hindi-language radio is dominated by Bollywood — film music has been the soundtrack of Indian radio since the medium began. Beyond Bollywood playback, Hindi radio includes devotional music, ghazal (Urdu-Hindi poetry set to music), and talk shows covering everything from cricket to politics. FM deregulation has expanded the Hindi radio landscape significantly.
Hindi radio is inseparable from Bollywood film culture — radio helped make film songs the dominant popular music format in India. Retro Bollywood is as popular as current releases on many stations.
Broadcasting from India, Nepal, Fiji, United States, United Kingdom.
