Akashvani Dharashiv broadcasts from what was formerly known as Osmanabad, a district in Maharashtra’s Marathwada region renamed to Dharashiv in 2023 to reflect its older historical identity. On 101.3 FM, the station carries the standard AIR mix of news, talk shows, and Indian music, with programming in Marathi, Hindi, and English serving the district’s largely agricultural population. As part of the broader Marathwada broadcasting network shared with neighboring districts like Beed, Latur, and Nanded, the station plays a genuine connective role for communities spread across this drought-prone but culturally rich part of Maharashtra. The renaming from Osmanabad to Dharashiv reflects a broader regional shift in identity, and the station’s local programming often engages with this renewed sense of place alongside its regular news coverage. For listeners across the Dharashiv district, Akashvani offers a dependable mix of information and Marathi-Hindi music suited to daily rural and small-town life.
