'''BIG FM''' is one of India’s largest radio networks that broadcasts primarily at 92.7 MHz. It is part of Reliance Broadcast Ltd. with 58 stations reaching about 1.9K towns and covering 1.2 lakh villages in the country. It is accessible to over 34 crore Indians across the country. With its distinctive and thought-provoking content, BIG FM is known for its timeless music and is a pioneer in storytelling with key properties such as Suhaana Safar with [[Annu Kapoor]] and Yaadon Ka Idiot Box with [[Neelesh Misra]]. In January 2019, BIG FM relaunched with a new philosophy and positioning statement - “'''Dhun Badal Ke Toh Dekho'''”. The biggest radio show - Dhun Badal Ke Toh Dekho Season 1 was launched with [[Vidya Balan]] as the host followed by a successful Season 2 with [[Jaggi Vasudev|Sadhguru]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
BIG FM first aired in September 2006 and since then it has curated remarkable content and has created some high impact communication campaigns that have been triggers of transformation. With its expansive reach, localised content and credible RJs the brand has played the role of a ‘thought inspirer’ and an agent of positive change in society. With this at its core, BIG FM refreshed its positioning in 2019 to take a second look at current situations and conversations by imbibing different perspectives in mind. This ideology is reflected across all the content, purpose-driven initiatives and client integrated campaigns. In 2020, BIG FM made its foray into the space of web radio with the launch of BIG Radio Online (BRO), with music and interactive shows targeting the youth of Hindi-speaking markets, taking a significant step in its journey of becoming a platform-agnostic audio entertainment entity.<br />
<br />
