"As per the agreement, Big Bollywood 96.3 FM will produce and broadcast Bollywood content for three hours between 5 pm and 8 pm," Big FM Chief Operating Officer Tarun Katial said from Singapore.     

This was the first time an Indian Radio station is making its presence felt in Singapore, he said.     

 

The three hour programme would cover interviews with Bollywood film personalities, Bollywood hit songs from 2000, comedy programmes from Shekhar Suman, Raju Shrivastav and Sunil Pal, along with general, financial and sports news from India, he added.

"It currently broadcasts programmes in Japanese, German, French and Korean", he said.
