Radio Mango created waves in Canada, indeed all over the world, by being the first Radio Program in Konkani in North America. We went on air on 29th September 2012, on FM 101.3, and every Saturday thereafter for 6 years. Being one of a kind, Radio Mango gained popularity all over the world. For the very first time, we specifically targeted the South Asian Diaspora from the Konkan coast, providing a voice and platform to this segment that has been part of the Canadian mosaic since the early 60’s, but had never been spoken to in their own language before!
RADIO MANGO fans expect the best from us. Hence, we always set high standards for ourselves. Growing from strength to strength, we have built a strong listenership from coast to coast to coast in Canada, and all over the world. .Our excellent programming has made us favourites with Konkani lovers all over the globe - from Australia to Zanzibar – even inspiring other Konkani programs.
Now I am back as your host to take you on a nostalgic journey through old, familiar songs, while introducing you to the talent of our young artistes. Through your favourite program, we aim to bring together the various Konkani speaking communities while helping the community identify with its roots and cultural heritage through a common and strong touch point: language. All global Goans and Mangaloreans, wherever in the world, get ready to get entertained and informed, and re-experience and re-connect with our roots.
