Great. Now tell us about how you commemorated the Magic FM 4-years milestone Hyderabad station?

We had organised a series of events to commemorate Magic FM 106.4’s fourth anniversary.

It included a singing competition named as Baala Gaana Gandharvulu Season 2 for those under 15 years of age that attracted a floating audience of around 30,000 at the Next Galleria Mall in Hyderabad. The competition was meant to be a tribute to the legendary playback singer

What is the ‘magic’ behind the success and popularity of Magic FM?

There are enough radio stations in Hyderabad playing contemporary music to attract young listeners. But the 80’s & 90’s are considered to be the Golden Era of the Telugu film music and no one was catering to that nostalgia before Magic FM entered the scene.

Along with the technology boom, music consumption trends changed too. We sort of found a market gap there to delight this sizeable audience mostly in the 30-50 age group. Goes without saying, the channel launched with a powerful RJ line-up established an instant connect with this TG and the rest is history.

How has 2022 been in terms of growth and listenership for the network?

On the business front, we are grateful to our advertisers/sponsors for reposing faith in this comparatively even during the Covid-affected period. 2022 has definitely seen a significant jump in our revenues for magic FM and this can only get better as we hit the festival season in a short while .

Also it is not uncommon that during movie promotions and interviews many of the Tollywood celebs speak about their special connect with Magic FM for various reasons.

It is this ceaseless love and support for the brand that motivates us to aim bigger as we move forward. Hopefully, the next listenership survey should reflect the considerable progress our brand has made in recent times.

What were the top-performing properties on Magic FM this year?

Right let me list some for you.

Suraksha Bhandan was a combination of Rakhi and Independence day celebrations, where Magic RJs and listeners tied rakhis to army officials, police personnel, She teams inspectors, and doctors. It is more about the special bond between the public and front-line warriors who protect us.

They are Mawa Bro (A humor capsule), Chowrastha (4 songs back to back), Top 8@8 (8 theme-based songs which will be played every morning and evening at 8’o clock), and Bollywood Jodi (2 back-to-back Hindi songs).

We are confident that this new mix of songs will enthrall our listeners and stay tuned to us always.

Despite some hard times for Radio, how is Magic FM powering through and connecting with its audiences?

Music has always been a great healer and the primary reason why people tuned into this intimate ,one-to-one medium. Nostalgic 90s music has been the main asset of Magic FM which mesmerises, transports listeners and helps them recall and relive better times of their lives.

Adding to the impact is the line-up of reputed RJ’s who invariably do LIVE shows on air and are accessible always enabling the audience to connect and interact with them.

Even during strict lockdowns, RJs were live in the studios giving the best of information for the public in terms of medical needs, hospitals updates, beds/oxygen availability and also playing audio bytes from health experts. Not only that, the RJs would interact with people to cheer them up and spread the optimistic feel amidst the chaos and the gloom of the pandemic.

What is Magic FM’s roadmap for the future?

Magic FM aims to become one of the top radio stations in Hyderabad in the near future . We have an integrated On air, On-ground and digital plan to achieve this objective at the earliest possible

Anything else you would like to add?

The Hindu Lit Fest 2024 to be held on January 26 and 27

The Hindu Lit Fest will be held in Chennai

Listen to This Article

The 12 th edition of The Hindu Group’s flagship event Lit Fest 2024 will be held at Sir Mutha Venkatasubba Rao Concert Hall, Chennai on January 26 and 27.

The festival once again promises to provide a platform that encourages and nurtures the exchange of ideas, allowing participants and audience to engage consciously with the important questions of the day.

The Hindu Lit Fest ensures that it actively makes room for an experience that both fosters and champions, above all, “free speech, the highest ideals of democracy, and a pluralism of expression in the arts and literature”.

As The Hindu Group Chairperson Nirmala Lakshman puts it, these are the “underlying core values that reflect the newspaper’s ethic”. They reflect the principles on which the festival, Dr. Lakshman’s brainchild, was founded back in the year 2011.

Beyond Books

As always, The Hindu Lit Fest, 2024 will go beyond books, expanding to include conversations that turn the spotlight on some incredibly important and urgent issues — from sessions on the global shift to hyper-nationalism to a discussion on countering viral falsehoods; from a conversation on Sangam poetry to the journey of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO); and from a panel on understanding the history of idol worship to another on the Indian economy.

This year, focusing on both current affairs and larger societal shifts, programme director Rachana Singh Davidar and programme consultant Prasanna Ramaswamy have ensured that the panels offer conversations and food for thought on a wide and inclusive range of subjects, from politics and the economy to food, sports, fashion, and stand-up comedy. There is something for everyone, and the line-up will feed your existing interests while also encouraging new ones.

The panellists, too, are experts, change-makers and leaders from a wide range of fields. The line-up includes Ramachandra Guha, Shashi Tharoor, Amish Tripathi, Devdutt Pattanaik, Manu Chandra, Neerja Chowdhury, Anuja Chauhan, Tarun Tahiliani, Cyrus Broacha, Sreenivasan Jain, Kanan Gill, Montek Singh Ahluwalia, T.M. Krishna and Perumal Murugan.

Discussing the great diversity of brilliant speakers, Dr. Lakshman points out that “not all of them do the ‘festival rounds’, and [many of them] have come exclusively to us. For instance, S. Somanath, ISRO Chairman, will deliver a lecture on ISRO’s spectacular recent achievements at this year’s festival”.

Month-long events

One need not wait till January-end to begin experiencing the festival. Starting from the second week of the month, Chennai will see a series of on-ground engagements that include a kind of sampler of the things to come — from a mobile library to curated walks, sessions and workshops on storytelling, quizzes and contests — all designed to lead up to the main event.

Speaking about the event, Suresh Balakrishna, Chief Revenue Officer of The Hindu Group, said, “We are thrilled to host a literary festival that goes beyond books. Our goal is to champion knowledge inclusivity by sharing diverse stories and experiences and fostering meaningful conversations. This event aims to bring together some of the greatest minds to a city that takes pride in its rich literary heritage and the diverse art it has inspired.”

The endeavour to ensure the event's success and creating a larger impact is supported by many like-minded brands. The Hindu Lit Fest 2024 is presented by GSquare Group, In Association with NITTE Education Trust & Christ University, FIITJEE is the festival’s associate partner. The Bookstore Partner is Higginbothams, VFS Global is the Author Lounge Partner and Repute is the water partner

Reviews for "Never Miss a Beat: Stay Updated with Magic FM's WhatsApp Number"

1. Karen - 1 star - I was really disappointed with Magic FM's WhatsApp number. I tried reaching out to them for a request and they never responded. It's frustrating when a radio station promotes their WhatsApp number but then doesn't bother to engage with their listeners. I wouldn't recommend using their WhatsApp number if you're hoping for any kind of interaction or response.

2. John - 2 stars - I was excited to connect with Magic FM through their WhatsApp number, but my experience was underwhelming. The replies I received from them were automated and generic, making it feel impersonal. I was hoping for a more interactive and personalized experience, but it just felt like they were using the WhatsApp number as a marketing tool rather than a way to connect with their audience.

3. Sarah - 2 stars - I tried using Magic FM's WhatsApp number to participate in their contests, but it was a letdown. They never acknowledged my entry or provided any updates on the contest. It left me feeling ignored and frustrated. I think they need to work on their communication and engagement with their listeners through their WhatsApp number.

4. David - 3 stars - While the idea of having a WhatsApp number for Magic FM is great, the execution falls short. I found it difficult to get a response from them, and when I did, it didn't feel personal or engaging. It's a missed opportunity for them to connect with their listeners on a more intimate level. I hope they improve their approach to their WhatsApp number in the future.

5. Emily - 2 stars - I tried reaching out to Magic FM through their WhatsApp number to request a song, but I never received a response. It was disappointing to see that they promote the use of WhatsApp for song requests but don't follow through. I would suggest finding an alternative way to make song requests if you're looking for a more reliable and responsive option.
