Sri Lanka’s number one radio channel FM Derana celebrates its 10th anniversary today.

FM Derana celebrates its 10th anniversary by expressing utmost gratitude towards the Sri Lankan listeners who have made it the number 1 radio station in the country.

FM Derana was officially launched on 29th of March, 2009. The radio channel broadcasts on the frequencies 92.2 and 92.4 across the country.

Ayubowan Derana, Anupama Kochchiya, Chooti Malli Podi Malli and Kemmura Adawiya are just a few of the hit programmes Sri Lankans tune in to listen on FM Derana which also airs 3 main news bulletins as well as hourly news bulletins.

Derana Radio Nidanaya has managed to create several millionaires in the country over past years while this Sunday for the first time in Sri Lanka’s radio history a radio channel will be giving away Rs 10 million to a lucky winner.

A grand prize of Rs 10 million, home appliances, property, lorries and tractors are among a host of prizes that have been prepared for FM Derana’s loyal listeners to be gifted through FM Derana Kotipathi Warama.
