The group of stations was previously called FM Metro, but the name was changed to FM Rainbow in 2002. The group is run by [[All India Radio]], or AIR, a government owned enterprise. It features [[Hindi]] and regional language songs, while also playing [[English language|English]] music and providing hourly news in English, [[regional language]] and/or [[Hindi]]. In [[Bhopal]], FM Rainbow broadcasts in Hindi to more than 12 districts of [[Madhya Pradesh]] and 21 [[Bhopal City]] suburbs. AIR FM Rainbow [[Delhi]] airs in as many as ten cities, more than any of the other FM Rainbow frequencies. [[Mumbai]], [[Lucknow]], [[Vizag]], [[Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh|Hyderabad]], [[Vijayawada]], [[Kakinada]], [[Kochi]] and [[Bangalore]] all receive FM Rainbow transmissions on a variety of frequencies. Rainbow stations are widely accessible due not only to their strong FM signals that carry transmissions to numerous villages in addition to urban areas, but also to FM Rainbow's commitment to providing diverse programming. Rainbow FM stations plays [[ghazals]], soundtracks, and a variety of programs featuring Western music, both [[popular music]] and [[classical music]]. Some such programs are "Time Out," "Take Off," "Footloose," and "Wicked Hour." FM Rainbow's variety of programming is unique for an Indian radio station, yet almost all the [[disc jockey]]s (locally known as "[[radio jockey]]s," or RJs) on private Indian FM stations got their start at FM Rainbow. Programming is provided on a rotating schedule, accessible from the All India Radio website, along with the frequencies available in different regions. FM Rainbow channels are also available to tune in from Prasar Bharati DTH channels across the country for listeners outside the bandwidth.
