Sooryan FM, Most Popular Tamil Radio Channel of the Year

Sooryan FM has received Most Popular Tamil Radio Channel of the Year at the Global Business Excellence Awards 2026. Organised by London Business Consultancy, London, UK, the awards recognise businesses, professionals and creative work across a broad range of fields. For Sooryan FM, the 2026 recognition places the spotlight on tamil radio broadcasting.

A language-focused radio recognition

Sooryan FM is recognised in the 2026 GBE programme under Most Popular Tamil Radio Channel of the Year. The station is presented publicly as Sooriyan FM within Asia Broadcasting Corporation. Its Tamil-radio identity gives this channel award a specific place in a multilingual media landscape.

Language is more than a technical choice in radio. It shapes how conversation sounds, how music is introduced and how a presenter connects with a listener. A language-focused station can become part of a familiar daily environment, accompanying people through activities that do not require them to stay in front of a screen.

A channel identity carried by sound

Radio builds continuity through voices, music and recurring programme features. A listener can recognise the feel of a station while moving between different parts of the day. The Tamil-radio category gives attention to that overall channel relationship rather than to one individual segment or song.

At the Global Business Excellence Awards 2026, Sooryan FM receives a distinct milestone in broadcasting. The accolade celebrates the named recipient and gives Tamil-language radio a clear place among the year's media honours. It highlights the relationship between language and everyday listening, where a station's identity is carried through sound and through the simple, repeated choice of the audience to tune in.
