The witty jock anchored is most popular segment Cross Talk in his show Take it Easy for many years, until the recent incident with an Australian RJ prompted him to pull off the segment on moral grounds. Taking over the Musical Rendezvous segment, the jock explains the reasons behind the closure of the show and the state of programming in Chennai today.
Take it Easy started off as a laughter show and so was its USP. However now, the focus of the same is has shifted and has become an opinion based show. We do not follow any particluar format.
I have an opinion on the local issues of the city and its impact on the people. Our conversation with the callers is very direct. It is a gradual but conscious shift. Humour works well on radio, but ever since I started giving opinions and made this shift, it has also been very well received by the audiences. Humour is still present in my show, but in a complete different way. We have gradually shifted from a single dimension show to a multi-dimensional show.
Cross Talk was supposed to be part of my show, but we stopped the segment after the Australian show led to a major incident.
Now I avoid making prank calls, thinking what if something goes wrong. Thus we pulled it off. We had a few guidelines that were followed. We often informed the person that the prank will be aired at a particular time with his prior permission, taking down all the details of the caller and more. I always selected the calls and then put them on-air. Only if I found them funny they would be aired.
One call not a prank call that I particularly remember is when I called an old lady living alone, who was down with diabetes and was not talking to anyone. It was her neighbour who used to go and talk to her every day. Her neighbour called me and requested to talk to her, so I spoke to her and that lady was smiling and was happy for a week. I was happy I could make someone smile after a long time. I know people were disappointed when I took off the segment, but they have also appreciated the fact that it has been pulled off air on moral grounds.
It was great to see that people still supported Take it Easy and wanted it to continue. Cross Talk as a segment did not become big only because of radio; it was made big through the internet as I used to upload the calls online first.
In around countries, people have heard it over one crore times. Like Cross Talk was not a formatted segment, similarly my show now is also not formatted. I have not replaced that segment. Everyday all my different links will have different content with humour and opinion.
I think the next level of radio should be something like this because the format has been over used. Most of the RJs become prisoners of these formats. So everyone takes films as their ultimate goal and uses radio as an opportunity.
Despite the famous RJs moving out the radio stations are not willing to innovate. I hear so many RJs saying I got calls today. Even I get a lot of calls, but so many people calling you every day is not a big thing. The RJs get into stations after college and are very lethargic. RJs that have been there for a long time like eight years are really bored of what they do.
More than bringing out their personality through the show, most shows now just involve doling out content and the show is over. He was married to famous journalist Nidhi Razdan in , before getting divorced a few years later!
