Title: Bollywood on Long Island
Post by: Ct Yankee on December 06, 2018, 2128 UTC

So, on December 3 WLIE 540am became WBWD (Bolly 540 am).  Coming in perfectly across the Sound into southern New England.  I believe this is New York's first East Asian formatted station.  Now I'll be impressed if we get play by play of the India Premier League and India Institute of Technology squash scores.

I've been known to hit the Indian and Pakistani cricket boards. There's just enough knowledge of English for it to be the primary language of 90% of the boards. The insults are inventive, to say the least. It's some of the funniest stuff I've ever read.

I used to listen to cricket from Radio Pakistan in the 1980's.

Urdu for 'silly mid-on' is 'silly mid-on' :)

I'll give WBWD a listen.  Sounds very much like or Radio Brisvaani on 1701 or Radio Haanji on 1674.
