History

Radio Dum Dum started its operations in September 2005, by a group of people with careers in entertainment and information technology in Kochi. Its objective was to make non-resident Indians have ties with Kerala. In response to feedback, Radio Dum Dum expanded its streaming support to include operating systems beyond Windows, incorporating MacOS and Linux OS.

Operations stopped in March 2011, leading to the redirection of their website to a placeholder.
