Radio never really left the tricity — it just moved into car speakers on the Madhya
Marg crawl. Whether you are tuning a new car stereo or settling an argument about
which frequency is which, here is the verified dial for Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula.

## The Chandigarh FM dial

| Frequency | Station | Operator (per the ministry’s register) | 
| **92.7 MHz** | **BIG FM** | Reliance Broadcast Network | 
| **93.5 MHz** | RED FM | South Asia FM (Sun Group) | 
| **94.3 MHz** | MY FM | DB Corp (Dainik Bhaskar group) | 
| **98.3 MHz** | Mirchi | Entertainment Network India (Times group) |

## 92.7 BIG FM: the local heavyweight

BIG FM 92.7 has long been the tricity’s marquee frequency — Bollywood and Punjabi
hits, big-name RJ shows and heavy local tie-ins with city events. If a Chandigarh
event has a “radio partner” on its poster, odds are good it is BIG.

## The other three

 * **93.5 RED FM** — the Sun Group’s “bajaate raho” brand, leaning on talk-heavy,
   irreverent RJ segments.
 * **94.3 MY FM** — from the Dainik Bhaskar group, strong across the Hindi-belt 
   city network the paper serves.
 * **98.3 Mirchi** — the Times group’s national juggernaut, Bollywood-first playlists.

## The public broadcaster

Akashvani’s **AIR Chandigarh** serves the city and its news bulletins alongside 
the private stations; frequencies for AIR’s transmitters are published in Prasar
Bharati’s transmitter lists. Campus and community radio stations also operate in
the wider region under the ministry’s community radio scheme.
