Radio has always been a purveyor of dreams and aspirations. That singular voice from a box that captured everyone’s imagination. We have all had some or the other special memory linked to it.

But the biggest lesson that we can all learn from this medium is its terrific ability to reinvent itself. Something that we all must imbibe to thrive in this ever-changing world.
It is this that inspired us to recalibrate Fever FM into a brand that beats to the rhythm of the new world. As a radio station, we understand that our competition isn’t just another frequency but every content-generating platform and brand.

And so instead of resisting change, we decided to embrace it. When we say “Fever ka remote ab aapke haath mein” it is our way to empower and make the same people feel seen and heard who have ensured that radio remains one of the most powerful means to communicate.

It is to recognise our own strengths - the therapeutic touch of music along with the power of storytelling, and attune to the Gen Z content consumption patterns.
Cameras have now entered the sanctum sanctorum - our studios and our RJs now need to be seen as much as they are heard. But the ability to connect and communicate will remain at the heart of this relationship.

We are indebted to this medium and the platform it provides to drive the change that we want to see and lend our voice literally to issues that matter to us.

Classic radio teaches us that words can heal and empower and good old storytelling will never go out of fashion. Our audio dramas such as Ramayan, beyond boundaries have received so much love. Balance is the key here - to be a voice that mysterious weaves magic and a face that is immediately recognisable. As a brand, we aim to unlock radio’s full potential And match our frequency with the vibe of the youth.
