Lyca Radio Midlands is the Lyca Radio Network’s Midlands service, with Leicester and Leicestershire at the heart of the station’s identity. The format brings together Bollywood hits, Bhangra, UK Asian music, old-skool favourites, presenter-led entertainment and Asian community-focused radio for listeners across the region.
The station launched as Lyca Radio Leicester before growing into a wider Midlands feed, with DAB coverage extending beyond Leicestershire into areas including Birmingham, Coventry, Derbyshire, Wolverhampton and Shropshire. That wider rollout matters because it turns the station from a single-city Asian music service into a regional Midlands brand with a stronger footprint across British Asian communities.
Lyca Radio Midlands works because it has a proper presenter-led schedule rather than just a playlist of Asian hits. Shows such as Breakfast with Kajal, The Ravi Sharma Show, Gold Afternoons with Bali Brahmbhatt, Drive with Raj Baddhan and Radiowalli's Rollercoaster give the station familiar voices and daily structure. The Leicester weather section helps local listeners check current conditions while listening live, especially across the city, Leicestershire and the wider East Midlands.
Notable shows & presenters are:
- Kajal — Breakfast: Kajal presents Breakfast on Lyca Radio Midlands, giving the station its early-day energy and setting up the schedule with Asian hits, conversation and a familiar morning voice for Midlands listeners.
- Ravi Sharma — The Ravi Sharma Show: Ravi Sharma hosts a named daytime show on the Midlands schedule, adding presenter-led personality between the breakfast and afternoon strands rather than leaving the station as a simple music rotation.
- Bali Brahmbhatt — Gold Afternoons: Bali Brahmbhatt presents Gold Afternoons, bringing a stronger old-skool and classic Asian music feel into the schedule. It is a useful strand for listeners who want familiar favourites alongside current hits.
- Raj Baddhan — Drive: Raj Baddhan presents Drive and is also CEO of Lyca Radio Network. His show gives the station a recognisable late-afternoon slot with network-level authority and presenter experience.
- Ritu Sharma — The Ritu Sharma Show: Ritu Sharma appears in the Lyca Radio Midlands schedule with a named show built around Asian music and presenter-led entertainment. Her programme helps carry the station’s weekend and daytime identity.
- RadioWalli — Radiowalli's Rollercoaster: RadioWalli presents Radiowalli's Rollercoaster, one of the more personality-driven show names in the Lyca schedule. It adds variety and entertainment value beyond straightforward music blocks.
- Anneka — Weekend Drive: Anneka is part of the Lyca Midlands weekend output, including drive-time programming. Her shows help keep the station lively outside the weekday schedule.
- Niraj Dave: Niraj Dave is listed among the Lyca Radio Midlands presenters and is part of the wider Lyca Radio Network line-up. His presence helps connect the Midlands service with the wider network’s Asian radio sound.
