Statement: Lyca Dilse Radio – Request to change Format

Published: 30 April 2021
Consultation closes: 28 May 2021
Status: Closed (statement published)

Lyca Media II Ltd wishes to change the ‘Character of Service’ of one of its Greater London licences, which broadcasts as ‘Lyca Dilse Radio’, from:

“An interactive speech-based station targeted at over-35s in the various Asian communities around London, accompanied by a mix of popular forms of music appealing to the target audience. Speech (expected to comprise at least half of daytime, and maybe less out of daytime) may be in English but should encourage a multi-lingual environment.”

to:

“A retro Asian music radio station targeting over 40-year old Asians in London. Playing music from 50s to 90s era & no current music. Also inclusion of lifestyle speech.”

Following consultation, Ofcom has decided to approve the change to the 'Character of Service' proposed by Lyca Media II Ltd.
