Leicester Community Radio CIC (LCR) is a publicly driven radio network, established in 2015 to enrich the lives of our listeners and foster inclusive connections within the varied communities of our vibrant city. We are an audience-centric radio platform, where every listener can discover engaging content that resonates with their interests and aspirations. We endeavour to provide a diverse range of programming that reflects the cultural richness of our city, celebrating individual voices and promoting unity and understanding.
We feature interviews with inspiring local people and showcase local bands alongside international artists, creating a dynamic mix of beats and discussions. Listen to our catch-up interview podcasts here.
We work with local charities and communities to help raise their profiles, along with local businesses that have products, services, or events to promote. Radio advertising is now within reach for many businesses that can also benefit from our unique integrated digital marketing approach. We’re here to do more than music; check out what we’ve been up to in our blog here.
