Ishq FM, branded as Ishq 104.8 FM, (formerly Meow FM and OYE FM) is a romantic music[2] FM Radio Channel in India that broadcasts in the major cities: Delhi, Mumbai, & Kolkata. It was initially launched as Meow FM, which was a talk-based channel and served Delhi, Indore, Mumbai and Kolkata.[3] It is an India Today Group venture and its format was directed at a female audience. The channel got noticed for its catchy advertisement on BEST buses. It had also introduced "Meri Meow", a social network for its fans.[4] In September 2010 the channel had changed its name to OYE-FM and programming to a Filmi format. In December 2016 it rechristened to the current avatar of ISHQ 104.8 FM.[5]
