During the same year‚ similar channels started operating under the PBC management from Lahore and Islamabad as well. The immense response that it received from the audiences in the three urban centers convinced the PBC people that they had taken a step in the right direction by setting up FM channel.

Youthful presenters with friendly style were engaged and the phone-in facility was made available to the listeners. The transmission hours were also increased so that the channel now remains on the air daily from 6 in the morning till 4:00 am. FM 101 is now operating for 22 hours transmission daily from 8 stations at Islamabad‚ Lahore‚ Karachi‚ Peshawar‚ Quetta‚ Faisalabad‚ Sialkot and Hyderabad. At presents FM 101 channel is the biggest FM channel of Pakistan broadcasting 172 Hours transmission per day from 8 stations.;

 The programme consists of music mainly of the pop variety. Western music has also been allocated two hours every day‚ form 3 to 4 in the afternoon and 8 to 9 in the evening. The transmission is sprinkled with information on a variety of topics including driving tips‚ horoscopes‚ sports‚ weather updates‚ culture and civilization‚ health and hygiene‚ quiz‚ women and kids issues‚ fashion and style and even stocks and business hints.
