RADIO ONE’s music mix enables listeners of all ages to connect with the show.

RADIO ONE also won the award under Category 2: Best Female RJ Hindi for the show Good Morning Mumbai, RADIO ONE Mumbai’s flagship show, hosted by RJ Tarana.

Together they are the perfect ‘ulta-seedha’ jodi that have Mumbai talking about them, as they talk about their city every morning. Tarana, who has worked with the station since she was 16 through its many avatars, was quick to call her co-host Jaggu on stage and acknowledge his contribution to the show’s success.
