The BRO line-up caters primarily to the Hindi-speaking market.

“BRO is an important milestone in our journey as a radio network towards evolving into an audio entertainment company. In the ‘new normal’, digital audio will be an integral part of FM radio, and the attempt is to leverage our strength in local insights, local influencers and storytelling to cater to the emerging new audience and maximize the true potential of radio and digital to the maximum,” said Abraham Thomas, CEO, Reliance Broadcast Network Ltd.

The radio station has been making efforts towards being a ‘complete audio entertainment platform’, he added.
