Aakashvani & Vividh Bharati
Ram Poduri
This post aims to invoke nostalgia. I remember the late seventies/early eighties
when the 9:00 p.m. news on Aakashvani was awaited with bated breath. And then...
a deep, throaty voice would waft over the airwaves... "Aakashvani, ab aap ... se
samachar suniye!"
Does anyone remember the names of some of the (male) news readers?
Brij Bhushan Sharma? Something Prasad Singh?
And again, does anyone know who intones "Sangeet Sarita.." on the famous/notorious
7:30 a.m. programme on Vividh Bharati? (I knew I had to RUN for school everytime
I heard it!!)
And finally, how about compiling a list of the programmes that air on Vividh Bharati
in their chronological (?) order? Starting at 7:00 a.m. (6:54?) till, what,
10:00 p.m.? Since these might vary from region to region, lets do it for
Vividh Bharati, Delhi.
On a related note, what exactly was the structure of Vividh Bharati? Was there a
"central" station, catering to several regional stations? In other words, was
Vivdh Bharati, Delhi different from Vividh Bharati, Period?
Thanks,
Ramakrishna Poduri

... ab aap Devaki Nandan Pandey se smachaar suniye
or:
This is All India Radio, the news read by Lotika Ratnam ...
Are programs like: Jai Maala, Manoranjan, Hawa Mahal still on air?
How about those: "dheemee gati ke samaachaar" (slow speed news bulletin)?
And that famous music to start off south indian songs in the afternoon:
... "ab hamaari dakshin bharatiya sangeet sabhaa aarambh hoti hai" ...

Among the programs, I think "Havaa Mahal", before the news was preety
good. And I am not sure if Faujii Bhaiiyon Ke liye was on AIR.

Did invoke nostalgia, indeed.
My favourites used to be "Chhayageet" (10:00-10:30 pm),
"Bela ke phool" (11:00-11:30 pm).
All India Radio Urdu Service used to broadcast good mix of oldies between
10:00-11:00 pm.
The then newly started National Radio (broadcast from Nagpur, used to be
quite high power) had an oldies program between 1:00-2:00 am. I remember
listening to it during the exam-time nightouts.....
Of course, I miss all those crazy ads which used to run in between:
from Zandu Balm to Baygon spray to Colgate to Dalda!
later, doodes and doodettes

One was Raman.
Another was Salma Sultan. She has grown very old now.
Re : other programmes --- I remember two 'kayasth' ladies,
both had Shrivastav as surname. One was quite dark.
There was another lady, Sarita Sethi. I think she had
an interview with Talat Mehmood that was telecast on a
Saturday afternoon. It had received due publicity beforehand.
And most office-goers left for home much earlier, in order
to see this interview. It was conducted at the singer's house.
And I remember that the gracious host had treated her to a
sumptuous breakfast.
Around the late fifties and early sixties, there used to
be a 15-minute programme, from 6.30 pm to 6.45 pm.
It was devoted to songs from old films like "Sargam" and
"Munimji" etc. .....
