• Milton Keynes – Small-Scale DAB Digital Radio

Asian Community Radio is built around a clear idea: give Milton Keynes a station that speaks more directly to local Asian communities while still sounding open, lively and connected to the wider town. That gives it a much stronger identity than a generic music stream, because the station is not just about songs. It is also about community presence, conversation and representation.

The station's music policy is broad enough to stay interesting without losing focus. Bollywood sits at the heart of the sound, but the official station description also points to Indian, Pakistani, Punjabi and urban Asian music. That mix gives the station a recognisable identity while still leaving room for different moods, languages and styles across the schedule.

Asian Community Radio also puts real emphasis on local involvement. Its own About page says the station is powered by volunteers and supports community events, interviews, festivals and local engagement in Milton Keynes and beyond. That matters, because community radio only really works when people can hear the connection between the station and the place it serves.

The end result is a station with more personality than a simple playlist feed. There is daytime music radio, discussion-led content, interview features and named presenters with distinct shows across the week. For listeners in Milton Keynes, that makes Asian Community Radio feel like a station with an actual purpose and a recognisable voice.

Notable shows & presenters are:

• Anjana Jain - Morning Masala: Anjana Jain fronts Morning Masala, one of the station's regular daytime shows built around music and presenter-led radio.
• Jessica Memon - Drive Time: Jessica Memon hosts Drive Time, a key early-evening show in the weekday schedule.
• Shelly Jain - Ghar Ki Baat Shelly ke Saath: Shelly Jain presents Ghar Ki Baat Shelly ke Saath and is also linked to the station's local interview strand, Who's Who in Milton Keynes.
• Susan Lakhan - Susan Talks: Susan Lakhan hosts Susan Talks, giving the station a more discussion-led and personality-driven show in the evening schedule.
• Gurpreet Gawera - Dil Apna Panjabi: Gurpreet Gawera presents Dil Apna Panjabi, bringing Punjabi music and culture into the schedule.
• Anand Asopa - Shaam E Ghazal: Anand Asopa hosts Shaam E Ghazal, a specialist evening show focused on ghazal and more traditional listening.
• Kavi Sharma - Yaadon Ke Jharoke: Kavi Sharma presents Yaadon Ke Jharoke, one of the station's named nostalgia-oriented shows.
• Who's Who in Milton Keynes: A local interview feature focused on people, businesses and stories from Milton Keynes, giving the station a clear community angle beyond music alone.
