Unlike many contemporary hit radio stations, DJs at Sonar Radio are able to recommend songs and control the music playlist. The Sonar Radio player also incorporates several listener-friendly social networking services such as voting for songs by 'liking' or 'disliking', sharing of song titles via Facebook, Twitter or e-mail and display of song lyrics/music video of the song currently playing.

Sonar Radio has been discontinued as of 2013.
