ENIL's Radio Mirchi 98.3 FM today launched its new brand 'Mirchi Love' in Ahmedabad, Surat and Jaipur. Mirchi Love will be the second station from ENIL in these cities and will soon be launched in Pune, Hyderabad, Lucknow, Kanpur and Nagpur. With the slug line 'just pyaarkiyejaa' to complement the feel of the station, Mirchi Love will be broadcast on the frequency 104 FM in Ahmedabad and Jaipur, and on 91.9 FM in Surat.

The station went on air with a romantic love jingle, composed by noted composers Sachin-Jigar and sung by Ash King and Aditi Singh Sharma. The morning show – wake up dil – is hosted by Gautham from 7-11 am, followed by a Bollywood gossip show with 'Bollywood ka rogi' Yogi from 11 am to 2 pm. The afternoon show, from 2-4 pm is hosted by 'love inspector' Hemangi, followed by the evening show – Shreya's love café from 4-7 pm. The night show – love ka pillow – is hosted by Neha.

Tapas Sen

Tapas Sen, Chief Programming Officer, Radio Mirchi, said, “Existing radio stations are all formatted on music era. Thus there are CHR (contemporary hits radio) stations, retro stations and even '90s stations. We felt radio stations can also be formatted on a theme; and we chose one of the most powerful themes – love. Mirchi Love will play romantic melody numbers across eras and will fill listeners with feelings of love. Mirchi Love will complement Mirchi, the mother brand, which is a CHR brand.”

Prashant Panday

Prashant Panday, CEO, Radio Mirchi, said, “Our market research indicated that while most radio stations help listeners feel energised, there is a huge need-gap in a different space – love. Mirchi Love will offer romantic music from different eras and bring in many new listeners to radio.”

Elaborating on the synergy between Mirchi and Mirchi Love, Panday said, “Mirchi Love will target young adults with high disposable income, the bulls eye TG being NCCS AB1 28-year-old. Radio Mirchi on the other hand will continue to target a younger bunch of listeners, the bulls eye TG being NCCS AB1 22-year-old. This will help advertisers target their chosen TG more effectively.”
