90.8 Hills FM-The Voice of Change, is the first community radio station in Nagaland, established in 2022 and based in Dimapur. Educating, informing, promoting, and entertaining the community is at the heart of everything they do.

            By producing and transmitting authentic, immersive, and educational programmes they intend to create a community of well-informed listeners while also building a link between the government and the people.

90.8 Hills FM is the first and only community radio ever in Dimapur. It is certain that the 'Community First' approach will bring a positive and visible transformation to the community. Contrary to general belief, listening is far more powerful than people think. Hills FM, therefore, wants to build well-aware and well-informed listeners. Join them as they use their voice to bring change.

On their airwaves, they will talk about authors and their books, have panel discussions on pressing local issues, and address the importance of women's empowerment in today's day and age. There is a section for storytelling where people from all walks of life bring their stories to share with them. If you are an animal person, they have a show for you where they talk about everything around animals. Mental health awareness, career guidance, local music, food recipes, and many, many more to choose from; select what interests you and tune in.

Hills FM makes sure that on their radio, there's something for everyone.

Stories of people who are change-makers, trendsetters, and people Who have defied all odds to become who they are today continue to be harbingers of hope. The team brings in such people, listens to their stories, and hopes that the listeners will be motivated. As a community radio station, its primary focus is to provide a platform for individuals of all age groups and to amplify the voice of the marginalized.

90.8 Hills FM strives to bring about a change of narrative, that perhaps with the community coming together, no dream is too crazy, no aspirations so high. The Hills FM members believe that the community is where the first change has to come — the first spark for a global fire. It is only when the community progresses, the individual thrives. It is due to this very fact that Hills FM trust in the power of the community, and this is where you come in. You matter, your voice matters.
