FM Rainbow Goa broadcasts from Panaji, Goa’s capital, and has long stood out among AIR stations for its distinctive bilingual identity, dedicated mainly to content in English and Konkani rather than Hindi. The channel provides a platform for showcasing local talent by broadcasting songs and music from Goan artists, making it a cultural touchstone for the state’s English- and Konkani-speaking audiences, including the Goan diaspora abroad who tune in for a connection to home. Its mix of Western hits, Bollywood songs, and Goan music built a loyal following over three decades, distinguishing it from AIR’s more Hindi-centric stations elsewhere in the country. Jawaradio
In October 2023, All India Radio-Panaji merged FM Rainbow’s programming with its primary Mhadei channel (1287 kHz) into a combined schedule branded “Akashvani Panaji,” citing declining mediumwave listenership. The change significantly reduced FM Rainbow’s signature English and Konkani music transmissions from three daily slots to one, drawing strong pushback from listeners and radio jockeys who valued the channel as a distinct link to Goan culture and the diaspora’s connection to home. Despite the programming changes, the FM Rainbow Goa brand and frequency continue to serve as an important part of Goa’s broadcasting landscape, carrying news, talk, and a curated mix of Konkani, English, and Bollywood music to listeners across the state.
