Meow 104.8 FM’s studio glass wall looks into India Today Group’s cafeteria. There yesterday, as a guest for a show, I was looking out… thinking about the last time I was there; that was 4 + years ago and my friend, who worked (still does) in the same publishing group, and I were there for… Read more »

Exchange4Media updates me us that Meow 104.8 FM from Radio Today (India Today Group) made a bold first-move today with its launch in Delhi. ‘Meow 104.8 is India’s first talk based radio station for women.

Delhi now has 8 FM stations. 5 of these sound like they were clones of each other.
Three new stations have launched in Delhi, in quick succession. Hit 95 that came a couple of months ago, New Big 92.7 from Adlabs and Radio One 94.3 were launched last week. My two bits:

I discovered Hits 95.0, per chance, a couple of days ago and speaking to a friend yesterday, told her to tune in too, only to be told by her that her brother works for them .
