About Lyca Gold
Lyca Gold is the UK's first and only radio station dedicated to retro Asian music. Broadcasting in London on 1035 AM and on DAB, it plays golden Bollywood classics from the 1950s to the 1990s, the songs that generations of families grew up with. On this page you can listen to Lyca Gold radio live online for free.
From Dilse Radio to Lyca Gold
The 1035 AM frequency in London was previously home to Dilse Radio, a community-focused Asian station that later became part of Lyca Media's radio network. In 2021, after Ofcom approved a format change allowing the station to switch from a speech-heavy service to playing oldies, Lyca Media relaunched it as Lyca Gold on 13 September 2021. Lyca Gold is owned by Lyca Media, which also runs its flagship station, Lyca Radio, the UK's largest commercial Asian radio network.
What you will hear
Lyca Gold is all about timeless melodies. The playlist features legendary playback singers such as Mohammed Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Kishore Kumar, Mukesh and Talat Mahmood, along with 1990s favourites from artists like Kumar Sanu, Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan. From romantic duets and ghazal-style ballads to film songs from Bollywood's golden era, the music brings back memories of classic cinema and family gatherings. The station is aimed at listeners aged 40 and over, but anyone who loves classic Hindi film music will feel at home.
