Community radio is a type of radio service that caters to the interests of a certain area, broadcasting content that is popular to a local audience but which may often be overlooked by commercial or mass-media broadcasters.Philosophically two distinct approaches to community radio can be discerned, though the models are not necessarily mutually exclusive. One stresses service or community-mindedness, a focus on what the station can do for the community. The other stresses involvement and participation by the listener.

The program schedule and announcements will be put up on the website soon. Do visit this website regularly to keep track of SARANG 107.8 FM. Tune into SARANG 107.8MHz from 6.30am– 8.30pm everyday!
