Raj Baddhan, CEO of Lyca Radio Network said, “We are extremely pleased with this morning’s figures for the Lyca Radio Network. As Lyca Radio (Greater London) marks its twelfth year of broadcasting, the network stands stronger than ever. Lyca Radio continued to attract new listeners, while Lyca Gold retained its position as London’s No.1 Asian retro music station, achieving its highest-ever reach of 116,000. Collectively, the Lyca Group remains the undisputed leading Asian commercial radio network in Greater London.
“We are deeply grateful to our loyal listeners who continue to choose the Lyca Radio Network in an increasingly competitive market. I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to our commercial partners for their continued trust in the Lyca brand, and to our exceptional team, whose dedication and hard work have ensured the continued growth and success of the network.
“2026 has already begun on a very strong note, with major competition giveaways including trips to the Maldives and soon Sri Lanka, delivered through our partnerships with Lyca Fly, Qatar Airways, and Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts. In addition, the launch of the Lyca Xtra podcast and further expansion plans reflect our commitment to bringing a fresh and innovative approach to UK Asian radio broadcasting. We look forward to sharing much more with our listeners in the months ahead.”
