Lyca Radio is a commercial, national radio station in the centre of the United Kingdom. It broadcasts music and other content for British Asians on 1458 medium wave (from Brookmans Park transmitting station) and on DAB (Sound Digital multiplex).
History
Lyca Radio launched in 2014 after Lyca Media, the company that owns mobile operator Lycamobile, purchased Sunrise Radio and the license for frequency 1458 kHz. Lyca Radio's sister station Dilse Radio began transmission on 1035AM during the same year. In 2021, Raj Baddhan, CEO of Lyca Media morphed Dilse Radio into Lyca Gold Radio - the UK's first & only retro Asian music station. Since then, it stands high with the longest average listening hours per listener than any other Asian radio station.
Sister stations
Lyca Gold is a sister station that broadcasts on 1035 AM and is billed as the UK's first retro Asian music station.[1] It was launched in September 2021 as a rebranding and format change from Dilse Radio.[2]
