Description
An Indian Morning first went on the air on Diwali (Festival of Lights)
day October 20,1973 on radio station CHCH, 91.4FM in Hull, Quebec.
It was the first radio program in the Ottawa area and it was enthusiastically
received. After a few months on this French station, it shifted
to CJET 101.1 FM in Smiths Falls, and when Radio Carleton CKCU FM
went on air in 1975, An Indian Morning was the first specialty program
on that station and it has stayed there since then.
An Indian Morning celebrates not only the music of India but equally its
various arts and artisans, poets and potters, kings and patriots.
The first half of the program features classical and religious
music, as well as regional and popular music. The second half
features community announcements and ear pleasing music from old,
new & popular Indian films.
Its signature closing line, "Seeking the spirit of India, Jai Hind",
summarizes the ethos of the program.
The producer of the program is Dr. Harsha Dehejia who hosts the
first half. The host for the second half is Mrs. Pratibha Sampat.
Dr. Harsha Dehejia and Kishore Sampat share the technical responsibilities.
