History
Radio Aamar began broadcasting from Dhaka on 11 December 2007, on 101 MHz. It provided music and news programming, but Srabonti Narmeen Ali, writing for The Daily Star, stated that interactive shows and in house serial radio dramas were the station's real strength. One of the phone-in shows was Amar Bhalobasha, in which listeners talked about their love lives.
Radio Aamar avoided playing Hindi music except during its international music programmes, and even then played an average of only three or four Hindi songs a day. It had a program for underground bands.
In March 2008, it became a Voice of America affiliate.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
