“MAGIC 106.4 FM is our answer to people’s hectic lives – a window of opportunity to get lost in the yesteryears, which was free from stress and more care-free. The people of that era still reminisce the culture and lifestyle of that time, and the music and movies of those days hold a special place in their hearts. Our network has constantly strived to bring newer content formats to the masses, a fact which is deeply imbibed in the network’s DNA. We believe MAGIC 106.4 FM fits the bill perfectly of being a platform to relive the nostalgic 80’s and 90’s era and let listeners enjoy a spark of magic in their daily lives today. We would like to bring forth more mesmerising situations in the hearts and minds of our consumers through MAGIC 106.4 FM and trigger an unconditional sense of joy allowing listeners to Vintoo Maimarachipodaam!”
