The word "Akashvani" was coined by Dr.M.V.Gopalaswamy, a professor of psychology and the principal, Maharaja’s college.
Mysore was the location of the first private radio broadcasting station in India when Akashavani (voice from the sky) was established in the city on 10 September 1935 by M.V. Gopalaswamy, a professor of psychology, at his house in the Vontikoppal area of Mysore(about 200 yards from AIR’s current location in Mysore), using a 50-watt transmitter.The station was taken over by the princely state of Mysore in 1941 and was moved to Bangalore in 1955.
In 1957, Akashvani was chosen as the official name of All India Radio (AIR), the radio broadcaster of the Government of India.
The AIR station at Mysore broadcasts an FM radio channel at 100.6 MHz, and Gyan Vani broadcasts on 105.2. BIG FM and Red FM are the two private FM channels operating in the city.
Jnanpith Award winner Prof U R Ananthamurthy, who was a student of Dr Gopalaswamy says “He was a man of few words. I remember going and sitting in the parks as a student to listen to music. These were known as radio parks.”
