Hello Friends,

We have seen in the past few days that our DJs host such lovely programs and come up with wonderful compilations. To make it more organized and prepared, I request our DJs to inform in advance of any special programs that they wish to host on HF Radio. With this the listeners can also be prepared in advance to listen to these special programs.

Based on the program schedules, I'll update this topic with the upcoming events.

Upcoming Events

All scheduled events have been moved into the HF Radio Calendar.

Requested Programs

1. Best of S.N.Tripathi

HF Listeners can request DJs for special programs and shows by filling in the details below. (Thanks nm007 for this suggestion)

1. Program Description
2. Preferred Date

Program Schedule Details

If you would like to host a program, please give the scheule details atleast 3 days in advance. So that I can advertise the show throughout the board for every member's benefit. If you are scheduling a program, please reply with the following details:

1. Program Name
2. Program Description
3. Duration
4. Your Location (Country/City)
5. Schedule date/time of the program ( in your local time )

Example: If I would like to host a program titled, Bhajan Sandhya at 7 PM on 27th October 2005 and I stay in India, Bangalore I would provide the details as

Program Name: Bhajan Sandhya
Program Description: Bhajans from hindi films
Duration: 60 Minutes
Your Location: Bangalore/India
Schedule time of the program: 27th October 2005 / 7 PM

How do the listeners map the DJ's program time with their local time?

Go to http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedform.html and enter the date and time of the program, and select the DJ's location. Click on Calculate fixed time. This would list the time of the program in most countries. Check the date and time in your country.

Let me know in case of any confusion.

Regards,

1. Program Name
2. Program Description
3. Your Location (Country/City)
4. Schedule date/time of the program ( in your local time )


1. The Khobi Show
2. Entertaining (mostly playing songs, poetries, jokes, live singing, and some music games)
3. Calgary , Alberta, Canada
4. Monday, Tuesday, Saturday, Sunday 8-9 mountain time/calgary time(one hour show)

This is a wonderful idea! Top1 Pradeep yaar

pradeep ji, put my program on upcoming for today, please

One more idea

Members should request the program that they would like to hear and then some HFer can take up that program

I would like to hear "Best of S N tripathi" <---- My first request
I dont have too many songs composed by him and I would like to hear some of his gems. (If we can get a commentary during the songs with anecdotes and such, its even better)

Thanks NM007, Khobi. The initial post has been updated accordingly.

thanks pradeep ji

Perhaps a Pakistani Sangeet show ?
Or 'new' music show ?

Preetz!!! U will hear from me!

oh wooooow, i'd luv to be listenin to u.............but, i'd be in school that time

You won't be listening to me, you'd be listening to Ameen Sayani! But I shall re-broadcast it at another time of your convenience, if the radio is free.

arey.....who is ameen sayani?.........?

From the web:

Amin Sayani has completed 60 years in radio, and last month saw the start of a fresh innings. The popular film song countdown, Geetmala, which he has been associated with for the last 50 years, is back on Vividh Bharati every Sunday night.

Now called Colgate Cibaca Geetmala, the programme comprises evergreen classics and current hits from Hindi films. The first episode was aired across 22 Vividh Bharati stations on February 18.

And it is Mr Sayani's stylised anchoring, that spawned countless imitations over the years, which is deemed responsible for the show's popularity. Binaca Geetmala, for that is how it began, was so popular it ran for 39 years on Radio Ceylon after it was started in 1952. "In fact, during its peak from the '50s through the '70s, listenership was estimated to be anywhere from 9-20 crores," says Mr Sayani. "Nobody bought radio sets that did not receive Radio Ceylon! I received feedback from all over Asia and even the east coast of Africa." Geetmala subsequently shifted to AIR's Vividh Bharati station.

Mr Sayani was initiated into radio at the age of seven by his brother, veteran broadcaster Hameed Sayani. "He was also a stage actor and director, and pioneered ad films and documentaries in India. Besides, he was a magician of international repute!" Mr Sayani informs us. "Of course, Hameedbhai broadcast in English, and I got into Hindi. My advantage was that I learnt Hindustani, which is a mix of simple Hindi and Urdu that everyone understands."

Mr Sayani produces and exports radio programmes to West Asia, the US, the UK and Canada, among other countries. "Of course, a very significant task has been to produce programmes for All India Radio (AIR). We have been doing spots, ads and jingles for years, and have done a lot of work for the primary channel, what we call `Mumbai A' here. Like this series, `Colgate Sangeet Sitare', which ran for two years. Then there was a series on AIDS, `Swanash', which was broadcast over 30 primary channels in the Hindi belt."

Of course, what most listeners cannot forget is his Behnon aur bhaiyon! refrain on Geetmala. The programme was awarded the Radio Campaign of the Century award by the Advertising Club of Bombay in 1999. And it is the only show to have set up listeners' radio clubs that contribute to the song ratings. These clubs are sought to be revived now that the programme is back on air.

unni ji, aap ke bate humare saar ke uppar se jaa rahi hain..................let me hear the program then will understand

Khobi:

"Binaca Geetmala" was the most popular radio program from the 1950's till the early 90's . It was presented by a broadcaster by the name of Amin Sayani and his style made him legendary along with the stupendous popularity of the radio-show. The program featured the most popular songs of the week, leading up to the song at the top of the popularity chart. HFMs fan made it a point to listen to this program broadcast every Wednesday from 8 to 9 PM from Radio Ceylon. (Remember, there was no TV in India till the mid/late 70's).

Thank you Unni for this program. Probably due to day light saving... Nov 02, 10.30 AM is 9.00 PM in India? I've updated the schedules.

2. Program Description : Meera Bhajans by Lata Mangeshkar, music by Hridaynath Mangeshkar

Good thing you brought this to my notice. Daylight Savings Time ends with the last weekend of October.

For Oct. 26, my calculation would hold good: 10:30hrs (local time) + 9:30hrs = 20:00hrs., i.e. 8 PM in India.

For Nov 02, I'll change it to 09:30hrs (local time) + 10:30hrs = 20:00hrs., i.e. 8 PM. in India.

Please change the Program Schedule accordingly. Thanks!

The Khobi Show has been rescheduled from 5PM to 8PM. The post has been updated with the new time.

Sonu:

Actually, it's interesting to remember (or at least as I recollect), although the program was sponsored by CIBA, the manufacturers of Binaca toothpaste, they did not peddle their product on the program! As a kid, though a regular listener of the program, I did not like the taste of Binaca toothpaste (it was not sweet). I remember another toothpaste, FORHANS, which similarly was "un-sweet". The sweet-tasting COLGATE was preferable. My dad did not listen to HFM, let alone Binaca Geetala, but he always bought Binaca toothpaste and that's what we were constrained to use!

binaca toothpaste had plastic animals in it, that is the reason I liked that fact that dad bought binaca toothpaste
