Part of the Puducherry AIR cluster alongside Akashvani Puducherry and Akashvani Karaikal, the station focuses on music and lighter programming, offering a **hot adult-contemporary format** that leans toward popular Kollywood film songs, classic hits, and traditional folk tunes.

The station appeals particularly to younger and urban listeners across Puducherry’s coastal towns, blending entertainment with community-oriented broadcasting in this uniquely Franco-Tamil region of southern India.
