Says Indiantelevision.com group founder, CEO Anil Wanvari: “We are delighted to partner with the IRF and Mixcloud in the selection of that one RJ and radio show which can be showcased at the IRF in Zurich, Switzerland. Over the past two years, RedFM’s RJ Malishka (2012) and Radio Mirchi’s RJ Jeeturaaj (2013) have kept the Indian flag flying high at IRF impressing all with their versatility and originality.”

Adds IRF’s Director Darryl von Daniken: “Radio in India offers incredibly exciting programming and we are looking forward to hosting the winners in Zurich in front of a very large representation of the radio fraternity and globally.
