Vividh Bharati Raipur carries forward a broadcasting tradition that dates back to Vividh Bharati’s nationwide launch on 2nd October 1957, making it one of the longest-running entertainment formats on Indian radio. From Raipur, the capital of Chhattisgarh, the station fills its 101.6 FM slot with old and golden-era Hindi film songs, interspersed with lighter talk segments and news updates — the signature Vividh Bharati approach of pairing nostalgia with information rather than running either format in isolation. Programming touches Hindi, English, and Chhattisgarhi, giving the station a regional identity alongside its national Vividh Bharati branding. For an entire generation raised on shows like Chhayageet and Bhoole Bisre Geet, this format still holds strong appeal, and Raipur’s local version keeps that tradition alive for Chhattisgarh’s listeners specifically. Anyone who prefers classic melodies over the latest chart-toppers will find Vividh Bharati Raipur a comfortable, familiar listen.
