Community Radio 

Welcome to Radio in London's community radio pages, bringing you information about the diverse community radio sector in London and surrounding areas.  Some of the groups listed below are licensed, many are not - some broadcast regularly, others intermittently.  All are welcome here.  

You can also visit the Community Media Association's website for information on community radio throughout the UK.

• Licensed stations
• Non-licensed groups and stations
• Other groups (training, networking, support etc)

NB:  We may have missed some, so if your group is not listed, or if you know of other groups which should be, please contact us as soon as possible with full details.

Plus:  for an excellent overview of which groups have received licences and which have had licences rejected, see the Stourbridge Radio Group website (then click on Licences).
