MUMBAI: Big FM is tweaking its prime time programming in Mumbai and Delhi. Exploiting the Bollywood fervour among listeners yet again, the radio station has introduced a quiz show Big Bollywood Ka Waaris, which gives listeners an opportunity to test their knowledge on the subject.
The station has only recently announced a programming shift to ‘Chillax’, aiming to destress the overwrought urban listener with suitably chilled programming and music. The station, which has also renewed its relationship with singer Sonu Niigaam as its brand ambassador, is now wooing listeners with Bollywood spiced with the lure of prize money.
Contestants stand to win Rs 27,000 each day and can choose to roll over the game and the money won to the next day to grow the booty. The show will air each morning on the breakfast show –between 9 and 10am in Mumbai and 8 and 9pm on the Delhi Station.
