MUMBAI: It is not simply said that radio and mobile are perfect couples. Radio City 91.1 FM has furthered the courtship by launching its WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) portal in association with Hungama, South Asian mobile entertainment and marketing company.

 

Carrying forward its tagline 'Whatte Fun' Radio City's humurous and witty content like Babbar Sher, Kya Baat Kar Raha Hai, Hasgulle, Santa Banta, Hakka Bakka, Pareshan Hoon Main, Funda Garam, VP Murari, Tadka Trailor and Dialogue Baazi will be available for downloads, along with other premium content.

The WAP portal will feature innovative audio greetings that can be sent for any occasion. Catering to their listener base the new Radio City WAP Portal also offers bollywood downloads, Radio City Guide and contests.

 

Bringing the music lovers on a common platform, Radio City has developed a community building initiative, which includes integration of the Radio City RJs on the WAP site to connect with their loyal listener base. Depending on the city, the listeners will get access to customised local content like city specific RJ ring tones and wallpapers.

Radio City CEO Apurva Purohit said, "Radio City has always been abreast with the latest in technology. Cellular phones have rapidly become an emerging platform for listeners to access Radio. As pioneers in the private FM arena, we believe that the core brand experience at this access point can be enhanced. To this effect, the Radio City WAP portal will provide our listeners a direct and engaging Radio City experience allowing them seamless interactivity with the brand."

Further speaking on the association with Hungama she says, "The Radio City WAP portal is a result of immense support and effort by our partner Hungama. We are glad to be partnering with them, as they are the experts in this industry. With the launch of our WAP portal we along with Hungama will further enhance the listeners delight using technology combined with innovative and interactive radio programming opportunities that allows Radio City listeners to benefit in multiple ways. Through this initiative we are living to our promise of 'Whatte Fun' to another dimension."

Hungama managing director and CEO Neeraj Roy said, "We are excited about driving Radio City's extension in the digital space. Consumers today are accessing entertainment across media and it is fitting that the extension of radio in the mobile space is an innovation by Hungama in partnership with Radio City."
