Britain's first licensed ethnic station

LGR was launched on 8 October 1983 by Akis Eracleous and Chris Harmanda as the first Greek pirate radio station in London. On 13 November 1989 it began legal broadcasting under the Independent Broadcasting Authority's incremental radio licences, becoming Britain's first ever licensed ethnic radio station. At first it shared the 103.3 FM frequency with the Afro-Caribbean station WNK, alternating every four hours. When WNK disbanded five years later, London Greek Radio was granted a 24-hour licence and became a fully independent station.

What you will hear

LGR plays Greek music of every kind, from laika and rebetiko classics to modern Greek pop, alongside English-language hits. Presenters host programmes in Greek and English, with news from Greece, Cyprus and the UK, community announcements, interviews and phone-ins. The station supports Greek Orthodox churches, schools and community organisations across North London, and it celebrates festivals such as Easter, Christmas and national days with special programming. A studio webcam lets listeners see the presenters at work.
