    The preview screening will be held on 2 February, the last day of the festival.

    Commenting about the launch, Radio Mirchi station head Kanwarbir Singh said, “Property is a booming sector in Delhi today and a show like this would give us a listener connect since there are many people who would be interested in knowing about properties.”

    Talking about the promotional tie-ups, Singh added, “There would be a few segments which would be sponsered. The sponser could either be a Bank which deals in home loans or someone related to the business.”

    According to other sources, the sponsors could be anyone like a Cement company or even a furniture brand but there won’t be any sponsors from the real estate industry. Gaur Sons and Orange County are the two main clients, amongst others.

    The first episode airing on 13 January would cover Gaur Homes Elegante at Govindpuram, Ghaziabad. Following episodes would be around Noida and Indirapuram and then further afield to destinations like Gurgaon.

    The RJ will share their experiences with the listeners while exploring the places. He will address important questions like the time taken for them to reach the destination, how far the place is from important market places, availability of proper infrastructure, public utilities and other basic amenities like availability of water, electricity, parking, etc.

    The RJ will also provide insights about the neighbourhood. He would speak to the residents or would be residents in the area and to the estate owners or builders about the rates and other applicable charges. The entire interaction will help the listener get an insight of the place he / she wants to invest in or buy.

  • Branded ‘Big’, ADAG’s FM venture targets 12 October launch

    Branded ‘Big’, ADAG’s FM venture targets 12 October launch

    MUMBAI: The Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG) is entering the final stages of preparation for its “Big” bang entry into the FM radio field.

    The Ambani brothers are known for doing everything on a big scale and it is certainly no different in this case as younger brother Anil’s ADAG gets set to launch its 92.7 FM stations across India. It is only fitting, therefore, that ADAG is launching ahead of the Diwali festive season under the brand name Big Radio.

    According to sources, the group is targeting 12 October for the launch of its radio station in cities where the common infrastructure network exists. This includes Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Jaipur and Surat.

    Big Radio is expected to be on air in Mumbai first, with a fast-paced rollout in the other cities where the common infrastructure exists. The teams for the radio stations are already in place with radio jockeys and other engineers hired and ready.

    Big Radio will be facing a phalanx of established players when it launches services in Mumbai. The group will have to compete with players such as the Times Group’s Radio Mirchi, Radio City, Red FM and Radio One (Formerly was known as Go FM), who have been in this game for over five years.

    One advantage Big Radio will be looking to leverage upon is the massive mobile phone user subscriber base that sister concern and telecom major Reliance Infocomm provides. Big Radio will be introducing a lot of interactive features with the specific aim of building a community of cell users hooked in to the station, industry sources have told Indiantelevision.com.

    Another “Big” advantage ADAG is banking on is that it has the ultimate brand icon in the “Big B” Amitabh Bachchan endorsing the station. If ever there was a case of the brand and the ambassador fitting to a T, it is this.

    ADAG originally secured its FM licence through Adlabs Films Ltd (AFL) in which it has a controlling stake. But post the demerger of the radio business, the company has transferred its FM operating units to Reliance Unicom Ltd.

    Big Radio will manage 45 FM stations. The frequencies were bought out for approximately Rs 1.60 billion. Initially, the company had bagged the licence for 57 frequencies but had to surrender the licence for 13 cities as per the norms, which do not allow one single company to hold more than 15 per cent of the total allotted frequencies.

    Max announces ‘Sabse Bada Deewana’ contest

    MUMBAI: Ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy in September, the telecast rights holder Max is attempting to create a buzz in the market. Driving the initiative is a search for the ‘Sabse Bada Deewana’ to be launched across the country.

    Through the hunt, Max will choose the biggest “deewana” from across the country through auditions on-ground across six cities- Lucknow, Jaipur, Bhopal, Surat, Kolkata and Mumbai. Participants could either register by sending a sms “Deewana” to 2525 or turn up for an audition at the venue, said an official release.

    Speaking on the onset of Sabse Bada Deewana, Max EVP & business head Albert Almeida says, “This campaign will capture the true passion and fervor of the viewer and showcase what fuels his or her Deewanapan. The idea is to identify these deewanas, capture their deewanapan and present them to other passionate viewers of the channel.”

    According to Almeida, the on ground activity will be supported by an extensive off air and on air marketing campaign.

    Max will take the biggest deewana and movie fanatic of all times – Sajid Khan across these cities and hunt down the Sabse Bada Deewana of the nation. After rolling out auditions in six cities, the campaign moves further as the six deewanas chosen from the city will then be eliminated by viewer votes and the Sabse Bada Deewana would be chosen from amongst them, adds the release.
