Talking about the recent development, Harshad Jain said, “This acquisition aims to provide the widest array of content, music and advertising options for our listeners and advertisers both. Needless to mention, that the combined set-up will provide growth opportunities for all the talented employees on both sides. The company is now detailing the combined synergies of operations both at the front and the backend.”

With a strong focus on top cities including Pune, Jain said they were set to become the dominant metro-centric media company. “We are looking to have the lion’s share in the listenership and revenues,” he added.

Fever FM and Radio Nasha are the leaders in the Hindi contemporary hit radio (CHR) and retro radio space, respectively. Radio One has three operational stations in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru that play English music and four—in Kolkata, Chennai, Pune, and Ahmedabad—that play Bollywood music.

According to GroupM’s AdEx report, the radio industry is predicted to grow faster than the previous years at 15% in 2019 to reach the staggering ₹3,116 crore. Radio has been consistently contributing close to 4% to the overall ad expenditure in the country in the last five years.
