About this station

Sukh Radio is one station on the network, not the network itself. It is the mixed language stream: a single running order that crosses between the languages our listeners actually live in, so nobody has to pick a station before they can hear anything. Mornings lean devotional and gentle, the middle of the day opens up, and evenings hand the whole schedule to one language at a time. Programmed in Melbourne for the kitchen radio that three generations share and nobody gets to own. Radio AU is where you see every station at once and choose between them. This is the one you leave on when nobody wants to choose.

Through the day

All times Australian Eastern.

RoshniThe stream wakes the way the east coast does, language by language, with devotional and acoustic openers so the first hour already sounds like the whole house.
The CrossoverHits from every station in the network in one running order, so a Punjabi track can follow a Marathi one.
TiffinThe hour built out of what a mixed house can agree on: film songs, wedding staples and crossover hits that everybody in the room knows a line of, whatever language they answer in. If you want a song sent to somebody by name, Salaam-E-Zindagi is the station that does that.
Home RunDrive time weighted to uptempo film and pop, built for a slow crawl out of the city.
MehfilOne language takes the entire evening, rotating through the week.
After HoursMehfil hands the evening back at ten and the languages start crossing again, this time at full length. The eight minute qawwali, the album version with the second interlude still in it, the ghazal that needs its whole introduction: everything the daytime order has to trim to keep moving between languages. One song can hold a quarter of an hour here, because at this hour nobody is waiting for the next one.

Programmes

Nightly, 19:00Mehfil

A different language holds the evening each night, with the presenter working in that language and in English so nobody in the room is locked out.

Saturdays, 21:00Border Crossings

Songs that travel: a folk melody turned into a film song, a ghazal reworked as pop, the same tune in four languages.

Sundays, 11:00The Long Table

One household at a time. We sit with a family and build the hour out of what that kitchen already plays, oldest listener to youngest, in whatever mix of languages they use between themselves. It is not sorted by language, because a household is not sorted by language either. What you hear is one kitchen's own order, not a request list.
