Very nice program in bengali. it is great to hear a bengali program in houston, as we do not have any such program. please keep up the good job. - Swapan Nandy / Sun, Apr 3 2011

We understand the pleasure of hearing your own language on the radio on a Saturday morning, and listen to Bengali songs, drama, recitations, and news from home, which you have left behind years ago but still carry the fond remembrance. We are trying to bring back to you those memories, as well as the present day scenario back at home, as it has evolved over the years.

The rich culture of Bengal, be it present day West Bengal or Bangladesh, has so much to offer, we are sure that we will soon graduate from a local radio station to a platform of cultural activities.

We are not just some songs and light talk, but we consider broadcasting as serious business. We let others take care of the unfocussed and ordinary things. We select our material to be broadcast after careful consideration, and make sure that what you get to listen on a Saturday morning will leave a lingering sense of pleasure and satisfaction throughout the weekend, and you will look forward for our program the following Saturday.
