A frequency with Asian radio history
The 1458 AM frequency has a long connection with Asian radio in London. Sunrise Radio, which launched in 1989 as the UK's first 24-hour station for Asian listeners, moved to 1458 kHz in 1994. In 2014, Lyca Media, the company behind the mobile operator Lycamobile, bought the licence for the frequency, and Lyca Radio launched on 4 February 2014. Since then Lyca Media has built a network that also includes Lyca Gold on 1035 AM, a station dedicated to retro Bollywood music.

Lyca Radio plays the newest Bollywood film songs, Bhangra, Punjabi hits, Asian pop and crossover tracks, together with classics that families love. Its presenters host lively shows with requests, competitions and celebrity interviews, and the schedule includes news, community information, discussion programmes and coverage of festivals such as Diwali, Eid and Vaisakhi. The station speaks to several generations of British Asian listeners, in English and South Asian languages, and helps them stay connected with culture, music and community life in London and beyond.
