BollyFM 92.3

The Bay Area's Bollywood Heartbeat

  • Launched: 2016
  • Frequency: 92.3  FM
  • Format: 24/7 Bollywood 

From AM Waves to FM Dreams

BollyFM 92.3 represents the culmination of decades of South Asian radio evolution in the Bay Area. What began as scattered music blocks on AM stations in the 1980s transformed into California's first 24/7 Bollywood FM station, reaching millions of listeners across Northern California.

The station traces its roots to KLOK 1170 AM, which pioneered South Asian programming in the region. Through strategic acquisitions and format changes, it evolved into the modern BollyFM brand — a station that blends nostalgic Bollywood classics with contemporary hits, community talk shows, and Bay Area stories.
