Lyca Radio has confirmed that it will officially be launching in Greater Manchester at the end of April.
The move comes after the group acquired Asian Sound Radio in December last year.

The new station – Lyca Radio – Greater Manchester will reference its history in the new strapline: “A New Asian Sound For The North West of England.”

It will also continue to tell listeners that it was previously known as Asian Sound Radio.

“We are super excited to be finally launching Lyca Radio in the North West of England region. Since we took over from the previous owners of Asian Sound Radio, we’ve been welcomed with open arms by listeners and advertisers,” said Raj Baddhan, CEO of Lyca Media.

Afghanistan

New name for Radio Afghanistan.

For the past few days I’ve been monitoring the former Radio Afghanistan at 17:30-19:30UT, in the couple of hours when it’s audible on 1107kHz via webSDRs in Cyprus/Delhi/Qatar. The broadcaster’s formal name is Radio Television Afghanistan but all the on-air ID’s I’ve heard are as “Milli [national] Radio” or sometimes “Afghanistan-pause-Milli Radio“.
Their website at https://rta.af seems to be completely devoted to TV with four video services being live streamed but no radio audio.

Radio Monique, the former offshore radio station alongside Radio Caroline, has successfully obtained a new license for 1332 kHz, marking a significant milestone in their broadcasting journey. Transitioning from their historical roots, Radio Monique now operates under a low power AM license in the Netherlands.
Located in Velsen, the current broadcasting site provides a strategic base for their operations. On the 17th of February, a pivotal change occurred as the antenna frequency shifted from 918 kHz to 1332 kHz, enhancing the reach and clarity of their transmissions.
A notable addition to their setup is the installation of an old container at the factory, serving as the housing for the transmitter and antenna tuner. The current dipole antenna configuration will undergo further enhancements in the summer of 2024, promising improved broadcast quality.
Listeners can once again tune in to Radio Monique on 1332 kHz, with a power output of 100 Watt PEP. Despite the ongoing work ahead, gradual progress is expected over the coming months to achieve a robust medium-wave sound.
To provide a glimpse into the broadcasting site and antenna mast, several videos have been produced, offering an insight into Radio Monique’s operational setup.
Stay tuned for more updates as Radio Monique continues its journey towards delivering a high-quality broadcasting experience on the airwaves.
