With a listenership of 6.7 crore across 34 markets, Radio City has consolidated its pan India leadership position and reiterated its popularity amongst radio fans in the country.

Radio City’s continued dominance in listenership is a direct reflection of the successful philosophy of ‘Rag Rag Mein Daude City’ that aims to invoke the feeling of city passion amongst the citizens. It also galvanises a stronger emotional connect through a ‘micro local’ content approach that depicts the city’s fabric, culture and nuances. 

Kartik Kalla, Chief Creative Officer, Radio City, commented, “Radio is undoubtedly considered as the most accessed, trusted and credible medium in both metro and non-metros. Radio City’s unique approach of providing listeners with innovative localised content and integration across digital, on air and on-ground avenues has seen a surge in popularity of the network across cities. AZ Research findings of Radio City, reaching across 6.7 crore Indians, is a testament of the loyalty that our listeners across the nation have bestowed upon us. This is extremely encouraging for the Radio City team to continue its commitment towards providing our listeners with the best radio experience in the industry.”
