Our Story
Voice of the Hindi-speaking community in ACT.
From a passionate community programme on CMS FM 91.1 to a 24×7 streaming station — Radio Manpasand has grown with the families it serves.
Radio Manpasand is a community radio program and the voice of the Hindi-speaking community in the Australian Capital Territory and surrounding regions. Twice a week we broadcast live from the studios of CMS FM 91.1 in Holder.
Beyond the FM dial, Radio Manpasand streams 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through our website and app — the same music, the same tadka, wherever you are in the world.
We're family-run, community-supported, and proud to be part of the Australian cultural mosaic — bringing a little bit of home to your morning commute and a familiar song to your Sunday afternoon.
