The radio station, which has successfully completed over six months of dry run for around 12 hours a day, was originally scheduled to start its broadcast from April 1 on the occasion of Utkal Divas — the state’s formation day.

The regular broadcast will be from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on all days and the repeat broadcast from 10 a.m. to 12 noon the following day, he said.
The community radio station has a coverage zone of 8-10 km with its own production and transmission studio, he said.
It would air a mix of information, education and entertainment, providing a platform to the students for giving expression to their thoughts, talents and creativity, he said.
