What makes radio so special, according to Kukian, is its local flavor,”He reveals that approximately 88% of Millennials and Gen Xers tune in because of this local connection. Radio becomes a familiar voice, a friend in the neighborhood, sharing stories and experiences that resonate with the community. This local touch makes radio not just a source of information but a reliable and engaging medium.”
As India's first private radio station, Radio City has been a trailblazer for the past 24 years. Kukian expresses confidence in the station's ability to continue entertaining and inspiring listeners in the years to come.
