About this station
Sukh Punjabi runs on Punjabi time. The station opens at five with an hour of shabad kirtan, kept low and unannounced, and listeners who want kirtan through the whole of Amrit Vela will find it on Sukh Gurbani from three in the morning. From six the morning programme takes over in Punjabi: the roads into the city, the weather, and what is on at the halls and the grounds this week. The dhol comes up at eight and the music day runs from there, chart Punjabi pop, folk boliyan and giddha, road songs for the long afternoon, and bhangra from the moment the working day ends, so a wedding and a gym session both have somewhere to land on the dial.
Through the day
All times Australian Eastern.
Shabad at DawnOne hour of shabad kirtan to open the station, kept low and unannounced. The morning programme follows at six.
Sat Sri Akal MelbourneThe Punjabi morning programme. It opens quietly with the roads into the city, the weather and what is on at the halls and the grounds this week, then the dhol comes up at eight for the tradie run and the school drop off and carries the rest of the morning.
BoliyanFolk hour: tumbi, algoze, giddha and the couplets that come with them.
HighwayPunjabi road songs for anybody with a long afternoon behind the wheel.
Bhangra DriveChart Punjabi and bhangra from the end of the working day.
Desi BassPunjabi club records played as tracks rather than blends: the bass end of the chart one song at a time, with the artist named. If you want it mixed with no breaks, Sukh Party Mixes takes over at ten.
Programmes
Folk boliyan, giddha and long dhol sets, built for a room full of people who already know every word.
The two hours between the kirtan hour and the dhol, in Punjabi and at the volume of a kitchen at six in the morning. The roads into the city, the weather, what is on at the halls, the grounds and the gurdwara notice boards this week, and a word for anyone heading out to an early shift. Messages and dedications for family, here or back home, belong on Salaam-E-Zindagi, which builds its whole running order out of them.
