Launched in 2003 by Indo-Canadian singer [Jazzy B](/source/Jazzy_B), it was called 'London's First Young Asian Hit Music Station'.[citation needed] The original presenters of 'Yaar Radio' were: Maya, Ranj Rekhi, Sonia Paneser, Danny Deol, Dee Singh, Kim Boss, Vinny Virdee (aka: Jas Rao or Jas 'The Man'), Ellia Khan (aka: Noreen Khan).
