    IBN7 has partnered with Radio Mirchi for the promotion of IBN7’s new show, 2G that offers an off-beat look at current events, politics, people and happenings in a satirical tone. For the first time, Radio Mirchi is set to present on the television RJ Naved. Now viewers across the country will get a double dose of Mirchi Murga both on the Mirchi airwaves and on the television live and exclusive on IBN7’s brand new show- 2G.

    Commenting on the association, Mr Sachin Tagra, Vice President, Cluster Head, ENIL said, “We are thrilled to present RJ Naved on the television celluloid to his fans. Over the years, the concept of Mirchi Murga has become widely popular amongst our listeners owing to its novelty. It is a special treat for our fans this time as we bring Mirchi Murga to them LIVE on 2G on IBN7. We hope that we continue to add entertainment and fun to the lives of Mirchi listeners”

    Mr Piyush Jain, COO, IBN7 adds, “IBN7 has always believed in content innovation and bringing something different for our viewers. A show like 2G brings a daily dose of humour and lightens up the mood in the very serious genre of news. The concept of political satires is very popular across the world and an association with Radio Mirchi will help popularize this here as well. RJ Naved of Radio Mirchi was an obvious choice as a co-host of the show since he has all the wit and the brain to fit in the portfolio.”
