RIP Go 92.5FM

I caught the bright hoarding today morning at the Sayani Road junction. You know the one at Prabhadevi, before P. L. Deshpande auditorium. It was for a new radio station called “Radio One” and promised naya music, blah, blah.

And then the number on the hoarding hit me – “FM92.5”. Quickly I turned the dial to 92.5. Sure enough – there was Taraana saying “aap sun rahe hai Radio One! Thodi hi der mein hum batayenge traffic ka haal Jaggu ke saath”.

I typed “www.go925fm.com” and was instantly redirected to “www.radioone.in”.

And so Go 92.5FM is no more. Its ashes despatched to the air waves. Scotty’s already beamed them up.

I want to mourn the loss of a good radio station. But I already did a bit of that.

For some reason, Madonna’s “This used to be my playground” is playing in my head as I type this. With mixed feelings. Part sadness, part finality, part Radio ga-ga... "you had your time, you had your power, you've yet to see your finest hour". Only Go already had its finest hour a long time back. And now it's played it's last song.

So R.I.P. Go 92.5FM. Go well, old friend.
