Code-mixing is very common in Radio Jockey speech. In India there are two types of radio channels, Prasarbharati and private FM channels. For the present study Radio Mirchi, Tomato FM and Kolhapur FM are selected. Announcers of Prasarbharati channel hide their identity during the programme whereas jockeys on private FM channels introduce themselves and the name of their programmes using innovative and personalised styles. Jockeys mix words, phrases, clauses and sentences in their speech. The researcher found code mixing of two types, intra and extra sentential on selected radio channels.
