Lyca Radio is a commercial radio station in the United Kingdom.[1] It broadcasts music and other content for British Asians on 1458 medium wave (from Brookmans Park transmitting station) in Greater London, on 963 medium wave (from Haslington transmitting station) and on 1377 medium wave (from Ashton Moss transmitting station) in Greater Manchester.
As of March 2024, the station broadcasts to a weekly audience of 110,000, according to RAJAR.[2]
Lyca Radio launched in 2014 after Lyca Media, the company that owns mobile operator Lycamobile, purchased Sunrise Radio's license for frequency 1458 kHz. Sunrise was re-launched on the 963 and 972 AM frequencies.[3]
On 22 April 2024, Lyca Radio Greater Manchester launched, following Lyca's acquisition of Asian Sound in 2023.[4] The output mixes local content with some networked programming from London.
Lyca Gold is a sister station that broadcasts on 1035 AM and is billed as the UK's first retro Asian music station.[5] It was launched in September 2021 as a rebranding and format change from Dilse Radio.[6]
