FM Radio

I was never clear about these 90 something point something else (93.5, 92.7, etc.) odd sounding numbers on radio. Though I never made a serious effort to know more about them, honestly did not know if anyone would know about them. But today, as a continuation to my impressed impression of Mumbai FM, I hit the search button again with the key words Mumbai FM, this time in Yahoo! (imagine my days...!)

No. Not that I felt Yahoo! would give me better search, but I know of one person who hosts Mumbai FM (later learnt that it is given at a price). That person's directions (years ago) were to go to Yahoo! homepage and give a search with 'FM' and 'his name' as the key words. I did the same today, learnt about the cost, and its existence years ago. Thus ends the pursuit.

These 90 something point something else are radio stations. Great, this much I knew even before. But what I understood is these are radio stations similar to companies like McDonalds. How McDonalds has its outlets in many parts of the country, radio stations like 93.5 FM (with same frequency) captures different cities. Thus, Mumbai as well as Bangalore have 93.5 FM.

There are very attractive websites for each of these radio stations. These frequencies have got their own names:
91.1 FM - Radio City
93.5 FM - Red FM: Bhajate Raho
98.3 FM - Radio Mirchi: Its hot!
104.8 FM - Meow: Thodi Meethi, Thodi Catty (I was wrong in thinking of this as a show on 104.8 FM in my earlier post)
Finally there is one webpage, currently not rendering at all. So, no idea how good it is: Mumbai FM
