Bengali Radio Online: Stations Streaming Live

Updated 6 October 2026

You can listen to Bengali radio online in any browser, with no download and no account: open 72FM, search for a station's name, and press play. Bengali is one of the world's most spoken languages, and Bengali radio streams from Bangladesh and from West Bengal in India — pop and talk from Dhaka, Kolkata's music, and Qur'an recitation.

Bangladesh

For the capital, Dhaka radio online goes further.

• Radio Foorti — pop and talk from Dhaka, one of Bangladesh's first private FM stations.
• Dhaka FM, Jago FM and Spice FM — pop and talk.
• Radio GoonGoon and Mellow Bangla — Bangla music.
• A2Z Radio — music.
• Al-Quran Bangla — Qur'an recitation with Bengali, the most-voted Bengali station in the directory.

West Bengal

• Akashvani Maitree — All India Radio's Bengali service from Kolkata.
• My 90s Bengali — Bengali hits of the 1990s.
• Radio Quarantine Kolkata and Ankora Radio — music from Kolkata.

Language and song

International Mother Language Day, 21 February, marks the Bengali Language Movement of 1952, and Bengali song — from Rabindranath Tagore's Rabindra Sangeet to modern Bangla rock — is central to its radio. Indian radio and Qur'an radio go further.

A little history

Bengali radio began in Calcutta in 1927 with the Indian Broadcasting Company's station. Since the early 1930s All India Radio Kolkata's Mahishasura Mardini — a dawn programme of chants and songs for Mahalaya — has been broadcast every year, one of the longest-running programmes anywhere. Bangladesh Betar's roots go back to Dhaka in 1939.

Listening from abroad

Bangladesh keeps UTC+6 all year; West Bengal keeps India Standard Time, five and a half hours ahead of UTC.
