India’s 94.3 Radio One, the brand owned by Next Radio Ltd, began its 11th year celebrations from Sept 4 to peak on Sept 18 – the day of the anniversary.
The celebrations in its 7 cities of operation will continue till the end of October 2018.
The 11th anniversary of the network will see the launch of its unique audience tracker called the International Indian Annual Monitor report.
This report tracks ‘brand/category preference’ behaviour of its 4.2 million upscale listeners (as per IRS) in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore – the largest media markets .
It has a foreword by respected industry stalwarts – Sam Balsara, Sunil Lulla, Ashish Pherwani, Leo Puri, Madhu Dutta, Sulina Menon and Subhodip Pal.
This pioneering report was created with queries pertaining to brands/categories that were designed as ‘help questions’ and not research. These 'help questions' were asked by Radio One RJs on its stations and its 1.3 million fans on facebook. The questions sought genuine listener advice and listeners helped their favourite RJs in making real life product / brand choices. Extensive responses have been tabulated in the report to provide valuable insights for future content creation & improving brand conversation impact for advertisers, exclusively within this upscale audience of 94.3 Radio One.

The theme for the elebration is ‘Whatever It Takes’, which has been expressed in a song performed by the company’s in-house band of the company .
The station’s sound design is also being refreshed. Veteran actor Kabir Bedi will be anchoring a new program #OneWon that showcases unique situations that came together during the year to create a winning combination.
