FM Rainbow Patna serves Bihar’s capital city on 101.6 FM, part of the AIR network’s entertainment-focused FM Rainbow service that has been running since 1993. Rather than sticking to hard news, the station leans into cultural programs, old and classic Hindi film songs, and interactive phone-in shows, giving listeners a lighter, music-driven alternative to the main Akashvani Patna news channel sharing the same broadcasting hub. This mix of nostalgia-driven Bollywood music and community-oriented programming has made it a steady presence on the Patna dial, alongside its Maithili and Hindi-language programming that reflects Bihar’s own regional identity. Patna’s broadcasting scene is fairly active too, with AIR Patna, Vividh Bharati, and several private FM stations all competing for listener attention, but FM Rainbow retains a loyal audience drawn to its old-song format and interactive shows. For listeners across Patna and the wider Bihar region who enjoy classic Hindi music with a public-broadcaster touch, FM Rainbow Patna remains a comfortable, familiar choice.
