Beginning on Sunday, May 14, “Geet Bazaar” is officially moving from WKNC 88.1 to RadioNyra.
John Caldwell and Afroz Taj will continue hosting “Geet Bazaar” at the same time, Sunday mornings from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. The long-running program plays a wide variety of South Asian music from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and beyond. Tune in for Bollywood film songs from yesterday and today, along with ghazals, qawwalis, folk tunes, and much more. They also track community events and interview celebrities from the entertainment industry.
“Geet Bazaar” fans can tune in online at radionyra.com, or by asking Google, Siri or Alexa to “Play RadioNyra.”
You can also still tune in on three new radio frequencies at WCMC-FM 99.9-HD4, W270DT 101.9 FM and WDUR 1490 AM.
If you want to know more about this change and why “Geet Bazaar” and WKNC are parting ways read about the decision to discontinue regular DJ shifts by non-NC State students.
