There has been a buzz of excitement created around the station following the appointment of Reshma Bhai as new station manager for Yarr Radio. The station has been revamped with a fresh new sound oozing an energetic and lively vibe.
The station for Young Asians delivers a mix of the latest music all day every day. As a Young British Asian herself Reshma says ‘‘we Young Brit-Asians have created a new culture for ourselves which is reflected in our choice of music, not only do we love our Bollywood and Bhangra we equally appreciate our R&B, Hip-Hop, Garage etc… we deserve to have a station dedicated solely to ourselves, here at Yarr Radio we only cater for this generation. Further more there is still a great need for this generation to be represented, I want Yarr to provide a new platform for media virgins and give unsigned artist and raw talent an opportunity to go mainstream.
The public had an opportunity to meet and mingle with some of the crazy crew first hand at the Asian Lifestyle Show 2006 where they definitely stuck out like a sore thumb playing like they say the ‘slickest’ tunes in town!
It has been eagerly awaited for the Asian media to raise the stakes. The wait is now over!
Yarr Radio –‘The sound of a new generation’.
Yarr Radio is part of the Sunrise Radio Group, headed by Avtar Lit.
