Big FM has launched Frequen-See, ian initiative to make radio accessible for the hearing-impaired community.

Speaking on the launch of this innovation, an unnamed spokesperson from the radio network said: “Though radio has always been one of the biggest mediums of entertainment for millions of people, there are about 18 million people who are hearing impaired today. For this set of audience who were not a part of the radio’s universe earlier, Big FM now brings them under one umbrella. We are extremely proud to introduce this path-breaking innovation, Frequen-See which will not only change the game of radio but will reach way beyond.”
