— Our origin

Born from the haor, not built for it

Radio HAOR was founded by people who grew up along these waterways — whose families fished the bils, sang the Geetika at weddings, and heard Bhatiyali drift across the monsoon water. This is not a station sent here from somewhere else.

/ Of this soil

Rooted in the same water and seasons

Our founders came from Netrokona, Kishoreganj, and Sunamganj — districts the national broadcast map long treated as margins. They built this station because the stories being told about the haor were never quite right.

Every programme, every decision about what goes on air, is made by people who know what the haor smells like before the monsoon breaks. That closeness is not a virtue we claim — it is simply where we come from.

Geetika, Bhatiyali, Baul — on air every morning, not once a year

These are not archival recordings kept behind glass. They are living forms — sung by people alive today, passed between generations in kitchens and on riverbanks. We broadcast them because they belong in the daily rhythm of this region.
