MUMBAI: Big FM Bangalore has for the first time launched an RJ Hunt to seek new on air talent for its station.

The four week activity that begins on Monday, will give the winner an opportunity to train and work as an RJ at Big FM.

The station is calling for entries from the 10 November through IVR (Interactive Voice Response system) using the phone no. 80-5055454 wherein the listener will be asked to complete a sentence with a witty and funny response. A Big FM OB bus along with RJ Rohith will be traveling across the city targeting colleges where he will audition interested participants.
The semi-finals will be held at a popular mall in the city on 29 November.

A total of 20 candidates from across Bangalore will be shortlisted based on their wit, humour, voice and confidence levels. They would then compete against each other at an outdoor venue from which four finalists will be picked by the judges. These four finalists will get to co-host various shows like Big Coffee, Bari Bindaas, Hip Hip Hurray, No Tension and Love Maadi Nodu and invite listeners to vote for themselves. Based on the sms responses received from the listeners, the winner will be picked on 6 December and trained to become an RJ at Big FM.

Speaking about the initiative, Big FM Cluster Head, Karnataka & Kerala, Sunil Kumaran said, Through the Big RJ Hunt we are looking for youngsters who are skillful, verbally talented and confident and have a good ear for music.
