Indigo FM hits Bangalore

Finally some relief from some real crappy FM programming here in Bangalore. Indigo FM the first station that plays only international (read english) tracks is here. So no more listening to crappy Kannada & Hindi RJ's speaking a combo of some 10 different languages. No more listening to artifical dialects from RJ's which nobody in the real world speaks. Here's the station where the RJ's speak only english & play only english music. The intellectual crowd of the Bangalore has been insulted enough and bombarded with some pretty mediocre local language music all in the name of some market research survey. I think DJ rohit barker puts it best @ their website where he explains the rationale behind starting Indigo FM . Great job guys. Keep up the good work. I for sure will be tuning in everyday.
